Change CSS Style with each language
May 28, 2011 10:17 am by siliconstudio
In WordPress I have a fixed width menu and my original layout was optimized for English. Selecting some other languages forces my menus to over-run the menu area which doesn't look nice. What I want to do is to automatically change (CSS) style classes depending on the language chosen by the user, so that parameters like font-size and menu padding change on-the-fly and the menu remains in the menu area without over-running the fixed width menu area. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this, most likely in PHP?

You can try to modify the javascript doTranslate function and make your CSS changes there depending on the selected language.

SiliconStudio, did you have any luck with this? I've been messing around with trying to declare a custom body class depending on the URI returned by GTranslate, but for some reason that's not working. Did you figure out a solution by modifying "doTranslate"? I try to avoid modifying the functions directly because I don't want them to get erased on the next GTranslate update. Thanks, in advance!

You may also check for currently selected language. In Enterprise version it sets a header X-GT-Lang which you can access with $_SERVER['HTTP_X_GT_LANG']. To get the current language code in Pro you can read this: url-language-code-t320.html?hilit=glang
