Find the translation of a post or page by id

Hi,
of course. You can write:

/**
   * get the translation id, if exists, in selected language
   *
   * this function will return 0 if no translation is found.
   *
   * @param int/string $lang - language id/slug in which return translation
   * @param int $post_id - post id
   *
   * @return int
   */
CMLPost::get_translation( 'fr', $nl_id );

There is also the function to retrieve all translation of a post:

CMLPost::get_translations(...)

The full API documentation is available with the plugin in “Ceceppa Multilingua” -> “Api” page or on my website.

If you need something else, let me know ??

Yes well actually.

My client wants me to build a homepage were the location of certain pages is fixed.
So I need to get pages by slug.

I hoped I could just give the slug in english and then check if there are translations available.

$post = get_posts(array(
   'name' => $slug,
   'post_type' => 'any'
))[0];
$id = $post->ID;
$id = get_translation(cml_get_current_language()->cml_language_slug, $id);

This doesn’t work however because the slugs are different for each language and somehow get_posts only returns a post if it is found to be in the current language.

is there a way around this (eg use get_posts to find all posts in any language, or translate the slug automatically)?

You can pass the parameter “lang” to get_posts to force filtering to certain language, bat if you pass on no language filtering will be applied.

In alternative you can:

$page = get_page_by_path($slug);

//The following function will return an array with all translations found
$translations = CMLPost::get_translations( $page->ID );

print_r( $translations );

Ok thanks! very nice indeed that extra parameter ‘lang’
