Thanks and feature requests

  • Hi Takayuki-san,
    I have been using Bogo on one WordPress site for a couple of years now and I really like it. I was working around the menus and categories by using code in my templates, but now I see the latest version has menu support in it and I can use one category for multiple languages and have a localized menu for each langusge without extra PHP in my templates- awesome.

    Also, I read that the category loops work better now so I don’t have to write code to filter posts when navigating to older or newer posts in a category. Great! Thank you so much for your work on this and sharing your understanding of the WordPress i18n features. It really helps.

    I am almost ready to start migrating my other sites over to Bogo from another multi-limgual plugin I have been using (that starts with a Q). Can I ask your advice?

    If I add Bogo to an existing blog, do I have to edit the database directly to add the Locale for existing posts? I notice those are all blank.

    Also can i ask for another feature – is there any way that you can add a gui feature in the admin console to make it possible to add posts in the secondary language from the default language. It is always confusing to switch languages, create the post copy, then switch languages back I like to use the admin console in English. On some blogs I will be working with other users in different languages but I would like to create the post, create a copy of the post with a different locale, then ask the to translate the post and submit it for review. I don’t want to have to switch admin languages myself and I don’t want translators to have to figure out how to create post copies, etc. Does that make sense?

    If possible it would be nice to be able to change the locale in an existing post from the admin console too, but I don’t know if that would “break” something if two “linked” posts were set to the same locale or something like that.

    Thanks so much for this great plugin! If I can get it working well in a couple of bilingual sites I will write a post about how to set it up (in English) and how to create a bilingual site. I am convinced that once admins start realizing how elegant it is they will start using it a lot! Blessings.

    In cases of migrating data from another multilingualization plugin, it’s true. Bogo supposes each post has the _locale and _original_post post-meta records. The _locale value is the locale code of this post like “en_US”, and the _original_post value is the post ID of the original post that this post is translated from. When the _locale post-meta doesn’t exist or has empty value, the post will be treated as it’s in the default locale of the site.

    As for the UI suggestions, let me consider it. Basically I agree with you, but there are a lot of difficulties around it.

    Anyway, I’m glad you liked it.
