    Hello,
    I have installed GD plugin and configured everything to work in 4 languages via WPML. Main system seems to be working, but there are few problems, which needs to be solved before i coud buy needed addons for this nice plugin.
    Fewest problems seems to be with WPML 3.16, with WPML 3.1.7.2 there are even more problems. I ave tried everything – from older to newer WPML, various WP versions and i discovered that best results are with WP 3.9.2 and WPML 3.16
    I do not plan to upgrade my website any time soon, so older versions of software will be kept to have stable website (there are more plugins i would use, same situation with these)
    Problems are:
    Item count in popular categories (only in non-default languages)
    Add listing page working only with default language. Though it is translated to all languages – it’s content is empty when opened in non-default language. If menu “add listing” is pressed – it switches to default language add listing page and there are no WPML language bar available.
    Could i receive some help with my problems?
    Thank you.

    would you mind sharing a link and possibly wp admin credentials to have a look?

    Add listing page working only with default language. Though it is translated to all languages

    Did you actually translate the add listing virtual page?

    Let us know,

    That is exactly a problem – i did fount these pages at wp “pages”, and all of these are empty, some virtual content is somewhere else. I did translate (saved other language versions, but these are empty, if switched manualy with address. Only working default language (language which was set by default, when GD was installed) add listing page is working.
    I did not translate actual add listing page, because i do not know how to do it. It would be good, if you could give some directions to me, how to do it. As i tested this on many various wp/wpml versions and these problems remain strong on all of these, i think there are more people with this kind of problems, so fixing of these would be helpful to them, also could increase usability and trust of your nice product.
    http://kiemopauksciai.lt/test/ here is test site, which i will use. It haves enfold skin and enfold compability pack (your plugin). Also it need to have a web shop, but if it is a big problem (non-compability with woocommerce and woocommerce membership modules), i still do not know if this will work.

    HI Jordi,

    I don’t think you have the same problem, because normal translation works as expected.

    Here we are talking about multilanguage and only for the add listing form.

    That warning will not prevent the pluing from being transalted and still work as expected.

    Otherwise you can follow default translating procedure: http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/category/translation/

    Thx

    If there is no problem, there shouldn’t be any need for a solution.

    But i still cannot translate (do not how) add listing page, this is really frustrating and it halted my project, as i do not know if i will be able to use this plugin and buy it’s addons.
    I could not find any info in http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/category/translation/ about translation of any virtual pages, as add listing page seems to be…

    Hi,

    If your website is in a single language, all text strings of the add listing page are translated via po file as explained in docs.

    There is no “special way” to translate the add listing page. The problem reported on this post arise only in a WPML powered multilanguage websites, where there has to be a different add listing page for each language. We are working to fix this.

    Thanks

    Hi

    Can you confirm if this issue has been resolved and rolled out as in our latest installation it still does not work

    Regretfully this issue somewhat negates the usefulness of the plugin

    Look forward to your update

    Hi

    In light of the fact that the language issues do not work on a multi install we have done a dedicated installation and started work using the poedit tool https://poedit.net/download

    This has identified a further 2 issues:
    1 – the backend of the site is now being translated as well – this does not follow the norm as other plugins ONLY translate the frontend
    2 – we are unable to find all the labels to translate – are they somewhere different?

    Again look forward to hearing from you

    @ Rudiger

    Where is that norm? Buddypress and bbPress for example only have one language file too, to translate both front and back end.

    Not all strings are in language files. For example City, Region etc should be changed in the relevant custom field: GD > Place settings > custom fields

    Hi thanks for this we will get on with those translations

    Q1 – Can you update me on whether the multilanguage issue is resolved?

    Q2 – Based on your response is it fair to say that we cannot have a full english backend with a chinese frontend (referring to the norm comment earlier) or is there a workaround

    Bear with us please as we are attempting to get the site live asap and this is the last issue to resolve

    Look forward to hearing from you
