A new GTranslate plugin for e107

[Jimmi08]

About plugin

This plugin is just my playing with e107 preferences and testing their limits.

It translates e107 with GTranslate plugin, that uses Google Translate automatic translation service to translate e107 site with Google power and make it multilingual. You can find more information: https://gtranslate.io/

e107 plugin uses a free version only that you can find on the Website Translator Widget page.

It is possible that I missed to hide some options, just report this (compare with official widget)

Flags are always loaded from the local folder.

How to use it

• shortcode {GTRANSLATE} in your theme (f.e. theme.html).

• shortcode menu for inserting this shortcode in Menu manager (not core solution)

• create new Menu and insert content there. Select menu template (core solution). Result depends on your theme.

Interesting, going to take a look at it (just some time).
Pity deepL hasn't such. I like their translations better overall.

Thanks, I finally learned how to manipulate the Admin UI table with JavaScript...

Looks great. Do you think you could add "no language names" so it just displays the flags? (I'm guessing that you already did that but not shown)

[Jimmi08]

Just select Flags as widget type

Justa a remark, Portuguese language doesn't use the Brazil flag.... 😀😃🤣

@rica-carv by language setting (Portu...)

For Port...-Brazil... in dwf js file line 45 > else if(alt_flags[lang] == 'brazil') return flags_location+'pt-br'+flag_ext;
so maybe you need to set main on (alternative) to Brazil (yes/no setting detect lang ??)

Very nive @Jimmi08 I tried it and indeed with some delay it works perfect! I only have 1 thing, if you install the plugin test and then remove it as a plugin (uninstall) all flags remain in the media manager without an image, did I do something wrong?
