Install only in subdir

[Flow]

Hi!

I just bought the pro version an have a little (I hope) question

I have an online shop at maindomain.com
this shop is already multilanguage, translated by hand. So this should stay like this. It also uses a subdir for each language.

I have a blog though, installed in /blog, on which I'd like to use gtranslate. Each language should have his own domain.

How can I install gtranslate to work only on this blog, and leave my shop alone?

If I put the redirect stuff in .htaccess in my main directory, I'm getting loop errors.

Hope you can help! Thanks in advance!

you can use this code:
<span class="notranslate"></span>

This will refrain from translating the content you wished to remain.
Hope it helps! (:

Hi,

You need to use this rewrite rules instead:

Code: Select all

# gtranslate config
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /$1/$3 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2&force_no_api=1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&force_no_api=1 [L,QSA]


So it will work only for blog directory.

Thanks! With the new .htaccess code my shop works again. I'm still having trouble getting gtranslate to work in my blog though.

The widget is there, the buttons are there, but I get 404 pages. I think it might be because it's putting the language code like this:

maindomain.com/de/blog and not /blog/de

[Edvard]

Make sure that you have installed it in your www root, not inside blog directory. Please check the troubleshooting for more info.

[Flow]

I have installed in root.

I think it is because my shop also uses maindoman.com/XX for other languages.

Is it be possible to make the URL like maindomain.com/blog/XX ?

That would work I guess.

[Edvard]

When you go to domain.com/gtranslate/translate.php?lang=ru&url=blog/&force_no_api=1 what happens?

[Flow]

Then it works! I get my blog in Russian. Exccept for some headings and the menu

I also sent you a private mail with URL so yo can check it out

[Edvard]

Then you have something wrong in your .htaccess file. Can you post your .htaccess file located in www root folder?

[Flow]

I sent it to you in a private mail. Thanks!

[Flow]

Edvard,

Thanks for the great service. With the new .htaccess things are working perfectly now!

[Edvard]

Good to hear that!

Hi Edvard,

I discovered that the edit page (with ?language_edit=1) is no longer password protected. I can access it in any browser and start editing. Do you have any idea what this could be?

My config file seems to be fine.

thanks

[Edvard]

Please check gtranslate/edit_translation.php file. Is it the original file from the product package?

[Flow]

Yep, it's the same. Just to be sure I copied it again.

Maybe it has to do with the .htaccess you sent me to make things work at my site. Please see your private mail to see the .htaccess info.

Thanks!

Hi Edvard,

Any news about this? I'd love to start translating but don't dare to put the site online like this.

Thanks

[Edvard]

OK, I'll check that for you. Hope you already sent the access info.

[Flow]

Yep, it's in your private mail.

[Edvard]

I cannot find access info. Please send FTP login/password.

[Flow]

Oh sorry I read too fast and thought you meant the .htaccess file.

It's in your mailbox.
