OK, foundt it – bless these guys here:
http://tonykwon.com/2010/07/09/how-to-enable-qtranslate-meta-on-custom-post-types/

So if you need to apply multilingual meta-tags to your custom post-types, add this to your functions.php :

if ( is_admin() && function_exists(“qtrans_getSortedLanguages”) ) {
add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘enable_qTranslate_Meta’);
}
function enable_qTranslate_Meta()
{
global $qtransMETA;

$post_types = get_post_types();
/* post and page types are already processed by the plugin */
$disabled_types = array( ‘post’, ‘page’, ‘attachment’, ‘revision’, ‘nav_menu_item’ );
$enabled_types = array_diff( $post_types, $disabled_types );

if ( $enabled_types ) {
foreach( $enabled_types as $enabled_type ) {
add_meta_box(
‘qtrans_meta_meta_box’, //HTML id
__(‘Multilingual META’, ‘qtranslate-meta’), //title
array(&$qtransMETA, ‘meta_box_generate’), //callback
$enabled_type, //type
‘normal’, //context – normal, advanced, side
‘high’ //priority – high, low
);
}
}
}

Good luck

Hi,
Is it possible to please tell us which code to hook in the functions.php or wherever in order to make this work with custom post types & taxonomies?
The tragedy is that qtranslate itself supports them out of the box, your plugin unfortunatelly NOT! (and as you see, the issues comes up again & in the above comments).
Telling us we should investigate it ourselves is cute, but unfortunatelly useless
If we were programmers, guess we wouldn’t have needed a plugin in 1st place, so your feedback, as developer of this plugin is crucial.

Thanks!

Hi John,
just installed your plugin and have the following problem, using
Theme Twenty Ten 1.2
qtranslate 2.5.24
qtranslate META 0.9.1

The title does not change with the language and I don’t know how to do this.
I had installed before All in one SEO, but deactivated it, before installing qtranslate META.

I read the whole thread, but couldn’t find anything. As well I changed the line 29 into wp_title,
but still get the same result, the title only changes from …../blog/title to …../blog/es/title or …..blog/de/title,
but not changing the title by itself.

As I am new to this whole internet marketing stuff, maybe this is a stupid question, but even though would apreciate some info.
Oh yes, site is set to begin with static page and I see a permalink(but if I change this permalink i can’t see anything)

Thanks in advance

Olaf

Hi Helga, You will likely need to edit some PHP in your template to get that working. It might be as simple as passing your comment text through the _ẹ() function, or you might need something more manual like this:

if (!function_exists('qtrans_getLanguage')) {
    $lang = qtrans_getLanguage();
    $translations = qtrans_split( $comment );
    echo $translations[$lang];
}

I guess this should be implemented as a filter on the comments, e.g. using the comment_text filter hook. You can find the documentation for the qTranslate functions here. Hope that helps!

Hello,
Also I use WordPress with qTranslate and I think this plugin it is awesome.
I need to find how to enable the qTranslate QuickTags as:
[:en]John[:es]Juan or also JohnJuan
in my Comments area. Does anyone know how to do this?
I can’t figure out why they don’t work. Probably need some extra code in my templates files (Magazine-Basic). I thought that these QuickTags were good to get separate comments for each language, and I don’t understand why they are not able to do it. I tried to put the QuickTag in my comments area, above the content but they didn’t work.
Please can someone help me figure out how to enable this for each comment?

Those post types must be provided by some WordPress theme or plugin; they are not part of “standard” WordPress. The plugin isn’t very complicated and could probably be easily extended to include these post types, however you will have to investigate this yourself.

Hi John, thanks a lot for your quick feedback! I will try this within an hour or two.

Regarding the portfolio that i am talking about, it’s in wordpress. I can add POSTS, SLIDER, PORTFOLIOS, TESTIMONIAL, LINKS, PAGES.
On the website i am currently working on, i am mostly using : PAGES + PORTFOLIOS.. and i cant customise the titles of Portfolios? (there are no title box)

Hi Herbert,

Have you tried changing the title hook used from single_post_title to wp_title (in qtranslate-meta.php, line 29)
I don't know what "Portfolios" you are referring to...

Hello,

your plugin is brilliant, but i still have 2 problems :
- the most important one, is that i did set a “static” homepage, but even this way there are NO titles or meta description on my homepage. It is very important so… how may i fix this?
- the other problem is that there are no field to customize title/ meta descriptions in Porfolios.. which i am using.

Any way to change that? The homepage being extremely important.. and i dont want to put it in the “settings” which makes that it will be available on all the pages!

Thanks a lot for that plugin!
