WPML 1.6.0, coming out very soon, will be able to scan the PHP code and automatically extract all the gettext code for plugins, like it’s doing for the theme now.

thank you!

icl_register_string($context, $name, $value)
icl_register_string(‘Contact Form 7′, ‘Input field label’, ‘Profession’)

2nd parameter is used both for distinguishing different strings internally, and for displaying. Therefore we usually have to provide English descriptions for strings. This is not good, because translator may not know English, but know two other languages very well. I suggest to add new parameter to pass description string, which can be translated using standard po/mo files. Could you implement this feature? With this, we will be able do such call:

icl_register_string(‘Contact Form 7′, ‘Input field label’, ‘Profession’, __(‘Input field label’, ‘my-plugin’))

In the mean while, there is an excellent contact form plugin which you can use that already includes full multilingual support. It’s Contact Form 7:

You can find instructions for translating the field names here:

any advice?
thanks,

It was just a bit confused coz of the “(only if you really know what you are doing)”

maybe something like “(using IDs and numbers)” will clarify more

Anyway, thanks a lot for your work, congratulations

You can try to contact PostLists author and get them to update their plugin. It’s a simple update that doesn’t have anything to do with WPML. We can still help with technical advice.

Im getting a list of posts in my default language. But when I change the language, I get the same list, no way to get the list of posts in the second language.

I tried to create a second category as a translation’s category, but PostLists cannot see this new category.

Any idea?

Thanks
