Based on qTranslate, adds userfriendly multilingual content management and translation support, with collaborative and team-oriented extensions.

Description

Writing multilingual content is already hard enough, why make using a plugin even more complicated? qTranslate has been created to let Wordpress have an easy to use interface for managing a fully multilingual web site.

mqTranslate is a fork of the well-known qTranslate plugin, extending the original software with collaborative and team-oriented features.

qTranslate makes creation of multilingual content as easy as working with a single language. Here are some features:

• qTranslate Services - Professional human and automated machine translation with two clicks
• One-Click-Switching between the languages - Change the language as easy as switching between Visual and HTML
• Language customizations without changing the .mo files - Use Quick-Tags instead for easy localization
• Multilingual dates out of the box - Translates dates and time for you
• Comes with a lot of languages already builtin! - English, German, Simplified Chinese and a lot of others
• No more juggling with .mo-files! - mqTranslate will download them automatically for you
• Choose one of 3 Modes to make your URLs pretty and SEO-friendly. - The everywhere compatible ?lang=en, simple and beautiful /en/foo/ or nice and neat en.yoursite.com
• One language for each URL - Users and SEO will thank you for not mixing multilingual content

qTranslate supports infinite languages, which can be easily added/modified/deleted via the comfortable Configuration Page. All you need to do is activate the plugin and start writing the content!

For more Information on qTranslate, visit the Original qTranslate Homepage.

mqTranslate adds the following features to qTranslate:

• Language selection for editor accounts (allows your translators to see only their source and target languages)
• Protection of concurrent edits of different languages (ie your english and german translators can save their work at the same time without risking data loss)

Installation

Installation of this plugin is fairly easy:

• As with any plugin update / installation, save your database.
• Install mqTranslate through the plugins administration panel, but don't activate it yet.

If your install already includes qTranslate, follow these steps:

• Disable qTranslate but keep it installed for the moment
• Activate mqTranslate
• Go to mqTranslate Languages settings page and use our settings migration to copy qTranslate original settings automatically
• Enable mqTranslate and check everything works fine. If not, disable the plugin and enable qTranslate again. If yes, you can remove mqTranslate installation (but I suggest you keep it as it is harmless once disabled and it can help you if you discover later bugs with mqTranslate).
• Add the mqTranslate Widget to let your visitors switch the language.

If your install does not include qTranslate, you can go with it:

• Activate mqTranslate
• Add the mqTranslate Widget to let your visitors switch the language.

Upgrade Notice

WARNING! Original qTranslate software provides a specific version of the plugin for each version of WordPress. qTranslate is only compatible with the WordPress version it has been designed for. As a fork, mqTranslate inherits some drawbacks of this issue, despite our efforts to reduce its impact. Be aware of the fact that upgrading your WordPress installation to a new version prior the availability of the matching qTranslate or mqTranslate release will disable those plugins.
