Hi Jason,

the script works fine regardless the user has disabled “compatibility view” or not, and you can try that in the example page: http://surstudio.com.ar/translator-lite-examples.html

Please try the new fixes I told you in the other message.

Cheers, Fred

Hi Basaran,

I’m testing your site in my IE9 and works fine. Could you please tell me what version are you using? mine is 9.0.8112.16421

Also, please do these things for me:

1.- Maybe you have done this already, but I need to be sure. Please clear your cache and try again.

2.- Press F12 , and the Developer Tools will show up. The 4th tab is Script, click it. See if in the right pane there’s an error.

3.- You’re including the jQuery library like this:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 

See the src attribute, it doesn’t start with “http:”, please fix it and try again.

4.- You also have this in case the Google CDN fails:

<script>!window.jQuery && document.write(unescape('%3Cscript src="js/libs/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"%3E%3C/script%3E'))</script>

for testing purposes only, just include the jQuery library in the regular way and use an absolute path: /abc/js/libs/jquery-1.4.2.min.js this is just for testing, Microsoft browsers stink. 5.- You can add an alert sentence to see if the js library is being loaded, for instance:

$.translator.ready(function() {

  alert("Library loaded");

  $(".translator").translator({
    autoSelect: true,
    ...
  });

  alert("Ok, didn't crash during the initialization routine");

});

Please let me know…

Cheers, Fred

Alrighty, I sent you an email. Please take a look.

Cheers, Fred

Hi FB,

I checked your site, if I inject the initialization string, the translator shows up, and I’ve seen that you’re using the Peru flag for Spanish, right?

Your home page still has an error on the custom.js file. However, your adamson-ahdoot-law-contact.html page seems to be fine. So we can do this, please duplicate this file with another name, and send me an email with the FTP access so I can make a couple of tests.

Cheers, Fred

Great, glad to know you fixed it and it’s working fine now

Hi Moe,

glad everything worked fine, and thanks for your kind message

Cheers, Fred

Hi Moe,

glad you like the plugin!!

In order to change the default languages names you’ll have to build the translator “by your own”, this is not as scary as it sounds, please take a look to the Installation Guide, point 3 & 4: http://surstudio.com.ar/translator-lite-installation.html#index-3

So instead of an empty container for the translator, you should place the custom HTML code, an example of English and Thai languages would be (comments here seems like they aren’t encoded as utf-8, so that’s why there are ”???” instead of the extended characters):

<div class="translator translator-container translator-names">
    <div class="translator-sub-container">
        <table cellspacing="0" border="0" cellpadding="0">
            <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td><a href="javascript:;" class="translator-language-en" title="English"><span>English</span></a></td>
                <td><a href="javascript:;" class="translator-language-th" title="???"><span>???</span></a></td>
            </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>
    <div class="translator-hidden translator-restore-container">
        <a href="javascript:;" class="translator-restore" title="Restore">Restore</a>
    </div>
</div>

Then, initialize the translator in the regular way:

<script type="text/javascript">
$.translator.ready(function() {
    $(".translator").translator();
});
</script>

Let me know if you need more help

Cheers, Fred

Hi FB,

glad to know it worked

I’m not sure if you should remove the jQuery.noConflict();, that might affect one of your scripts.

About your questions:

1)

jQuery.translator.ready(function() {
    jQuery(".translator").translator({
        languages: ["en", "es"],
        flagsFolder: "translator/images/" 
    });
});

2)

jQuery.translator.ready(function() {
    jQuery(".translator").translator({
        languages: ["en", "es"],
        excludeSelector: "#menu-navigation span span strong, #menu-navigation em",
        flagsFolder: "translator/images/" 
    });
});

Notice the excludeSelector setting, has two values because didn’t know if you wanted to completely exclude the menu, or just its titles.

You might want to take a look to the help files

One comment, http://aa-llp.com/adamson-ahdoot-law-disclaimer6.html still has the error in the custom.js file, line: 140

Cheers, Fred

Hi FB,

you’ve made those changes, but you also have added a second jQuery library to your pages:

<script src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 

If your scripts need the 1.4.2 version, no problem, just move it to the top, and replace the 1.6.1 version. On top of your page you have:

<link href="translator/styles/jquery.translator.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> 
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
<script src="translator/javascript/jquery.translator.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 

so take the 1.4.2 version, and place it up there:

<link href="translator/styles/jquery.translator.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> 
<script src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
<script src="translator/javascript/jquery.translator.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 

Then, the flags are in the ”/translator/images/” folder, so instead of initializing the translator like this:

jQuery.translator.ready(function() {
    jQuery(".translator").translator();
});

use:

jQuery.translator.ready(function() {
    jQuery(".translator").translator({
        flagsFolder: "/translator/images/" 
    });
});

I’ve injected this into your page, and worked fine.

Another comment, one of your css is messing up a little with the translator, so you’ll have to edit the translator/styles/jquery.translator.css file, the 3rd selector is:

.translator-sub-container table {
    text-align: center;
    margin: 0 auto;
    height: 20px;
}

add one line:

.translator-sub-container table {
    text-align: center;
    margin: 0 auto;
    height: 20px;
    border-collapse: separate;
}

That will do it.

Cheers, Fred

ps: I’ll add this little css modification to the package’s files, but that might take a day or two to become public because of the approval procedure.

Hi FB, thanks for buying.

I’ve checked your website. One of your multiple scrips should be calling the jQuery.noConfict() function, because on my js console I’m seeing that the $ does not exist.

So, instead of using the $ function, just use jQuery instead:

$.translator.ready(function() {
    $(".translator").translator();
});

replace it with:

jQuery.translator.ready(function() {
    jQuery(".translator").translator();
});

Another comment, you’re placing a piece of HTML code by yourself, you can delete that:

<div class="translator translator-container translator-jquery translator-flags-and-names"> 
    <div class="translator-sub-container"> 
    ...
</div></div>

Seems like you haven’t uploaded the images folder to the site’s root, so you will have to specify the images location using the flagsFolder setting.

One more comment, I’ve checked http://aa-llp.com/, and there’s a javascript error on the custom.js file, line 140: $(document).ready(function(){, this error is another consecuence of one of your scripts calling the jQuery.noConfict() function. I recommend you to place jQuery instead of $, I don’t know what browser are you using, but Chrome has a very nice built-in javascript console (control+shift+j) or you can also download the Firebug plugin for Firefox.

Let me know if you need more help.

Cheers, Fred

Hi there,

yes, it can be used. However you will have to manually install it in your theme, if you don’t know how to do it, I can help you out, is pretty simple, should take no more than 5 minutes. Assuming you would like to place the translator at the top of the website, you’ll need to edit the header.php file to load the js and css files, and initialize the translator, that’s all.

The most important thing is that you will need to upload the files to your server, either with FTP or with some web file upload manager provided by your hosting provider.

Cheers, Fred

Hi Mick,

currently is not possible to choose the Microsoft Translate API . But is something that I’ll probably do soon. I’ll send you another message when it’s available.

Cheers, Fred
