The Pro: You can reuse native WP code. Contra: You have to write your own taxonomy selector to avoid posts tagged with more than one language. The plugin Posts 2 Posts from @scribu should guide you to a more flexible approach.
@toscho is right about the direction of the text… But as someone who builds websites in hebrew all the time i would reccomend you create a custom page template by putting this tag in a copy of page.php /* Template name: arabic page */ THen you can design it differently… maybe remove the sidebar which … Read more
I found the solution. I had to flush rules after I change the search base with the code on the edited question. Here is the final code: $lang = get_bloginfo(“language”); if ( $lang == ‘de-DE’ ) { add_action(‘init’, ‘search_base_german’); function search_base_german() { $search_slug = ‘suche’; // change slug name $GLOBALS[‘wp_rewrite’]->search_base = $search_slug; $GLOBALS[‘wp_rewrite’]->flush_rules(); } }
I don’t know the function you mention either, but I would venture to guess that that applies to default roles only anyhow. Still, the link you posted does contain a pointer in the right direction. It speaks of “dummy gettext calls”, which is exactly what you have to do. In the following we will adjust … Read more
When user starts typing something into tag input, JavaScript makes request to admin-ajax.php with action set to ajax-tag-search to receive list of suggestions (if any).

date_i18n() gets month from WP_Locale->get_month(). Which in turn fills months using baseline translation function __(), nothing fancy. Bottom line is — months should be translated in po/mo files, you just got incomplete translation.
Actually WordPress lacks a real function to get posts by slug/post-name. But you can use get_page_by_path() for it so you don’t have to use a custom query: if(function_exists(‘icl_object_id’)) { $post = get_page_by_path(‘your-slug’); $id = icl_object_id($post->ID,’post’,true); $link = get_permalink($id); } The only difference here is that you must use the full path i.e. (‘parent-page/sub-page’) if you … Read more
WPLANG effects the whole site not just the admin section, you can use it in conjunction with WPML. It basically sets what language you have translations for but you must include a languages folder inside wp-include with the appropriate .mo and .po files. You can also set WPML to use the default languages directory ( … Read more
The main language of a post should be saved in a post meta field. There is no way to detect that automatically. Even Google’s heuristics fail regularly with that. So add a custom field lang and check with … $language = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘lang’, TRUE ); … what language the post was written in. Update … Read more
