[Plugin: Global Translator] Widget title name

I am having the same problem. It was working fine with 0.8, and I did an auto upgrade to 0.9 and now the title is gone…

OK, doing some digging in the code, i found the answer. I compared my offline files, which were 0.8 to the online ones, which were 0.9. In the 0.9, go to line 397, and change:

$buf = '';

to

$buf = '<h2>Translate This Blog</h2>';

Or whatever else you want the title to say.

Now though, I have another issue though, but I think thats related to my theme rather than this plugin.

Thanks for an idea mranoonwala but that didn’t solve the problem. The text you added adds an additional line below the title bar. This is a frustrating bug in the code.

Anyone know how to resolve it?

I used to have the global-translation plugin in my sidebar – I used the samsarin php plugin widget (rather than the one supplied) with the following code in the php area:

<div align=”center”>

• <?php if(function_exists(“gltr_build_flags_bar”)) { gltr_build_flags_bar(); } ?>

</div>

It worked for me, but you need to check the ‘Enclose the flags inside a table’ to get them spaced properly.

I’ve since moved the flags to the top of the page.

Cheers,

I don’t know how to add the ability to customize the title within the widget control, but I did figure out how to hard code a title into the plugin.

Edit line 861 echo $before_widget . $before_title . $after_title;

to echo $before_widget . $before_title . 'Translate This Blog' . $after_title;

Thanks, jadedsabre! Your solution fixed my issue with the title.

Also, I wanted to change the size of the text to be small, so I had to create a new font style in my theme’s CSS file, which was no big deal.

Thanks again, bro!

jadedsabre’s post works upto Version 0.9.1.1 and can be found on Line 896 in translator.php

echo $before_widget . $before_title . ‘Translate This Blog’ . $after_title;
