How to use get_page_by_title() with qTranslate?

Ok, now that you know your final goal I can try to answer :

first , A little background for other people who will read this and might wonder why this question exists (because it can help also in other cases )

the function get_page_by_title() does exactly what the name say . But qTarnslate , as well as other plugins , actually CHANGE the title in the DB .

The answer to such problems is using another less-known (but not less powerful) function called get_page_by_path();

why does this help ? Because the Path of the page will not be changed .
Usually it will be used like this :

get_page_by_path('parent-page/sub-page');

But a much more cool thing is that the “path” parameter can be the SLUG , which is NOT changed by qTranslate .

so for the direct answer , please try this :

$page = get_page_by_path('your-slug-of-page-to-exclude');
wp_list_pages('exclude=".$page->ID."&title_li=');

that being said, and as a side note – there is no reason for you to lose the ID of pages when migration, if you simply export your DB and import to the new server , like described in the CODEX or HERE.
