Avoid translation of user name or author
Oct 18, 2012 7:13 pm by SteckInsights
My theme uses the author name as a header. How can I keep my username from being translated. For example, GTranslate is taking "First Last" and making it "Last First" (of course, First and Last are actual names). Any thoughts? Adding <span class="notranslate"> does not do the trick with author names. Is there a function for this or a way of specifying that meta info doesn't get translated? Thanks in advance! PS- using GTranslate Pro with WordPress.

Hi, You should use class="notranslate" for the parts you don't wont to be translated.

Adding <span class="notranslate"> does not do the trick with author names. Yana, the notranslate solution does not work for Meta descriptions (author names after the post title). What should I use instead?

So, do you have a solution for this? How can I prevent our meta descriptions from being translated?

Hi, In order to exclude something from the translation you should use class="notranslate" . There is no other solution.

Yana, I just want to make sure you are understanding the logic here. You're telling me to use class="notranslate" You're telling me that I cannot use class="notranslate" on meta info So you're telling me that GTranslate and GTranslate Pro have no way of modifying the meta info? That's what I'm hearing, but I just want to make sure we're clear on this and that others know there is no way to edit the meta information using GTranslate. Thanks for helping with this issue.
