WP Translate updates.

By Scott Hough • June 25, 2007

I haven’t been working on the plugin lately. I recently moved from Arizona to Virginia. I haven’t had much time. I’ve been trying to catch up with emails I’ve received and reading blog comments.

I’ve gotten a few emails regarding the beta not working on Internet Explorer. I’m aware of that, I just can’t figure out why IE isn’t asking for referrer information from the plugin.

I’ve also received a few emails and blog comments regarding the newest version of Wordpress. I know the plugin isn’t working with it. I haven’t investigated it yet.

Another thing, I received an email from a sysadmin for a hosting company. It appears the plugin is causing some problems.

Quote from the email

Hi,

I am the sysadmin for a hosting company in the UK and we are seeing severe problems at the moment caused by the wp-translate plugin. After tracing the process, I was able to determine that Google was rejecting the connection. The plugin was then going into an infinite loop continuously trying to connect to Google and failing every time. This would only end when our webserver software was forcibly terminating the process for going over the sandbox limits.

So far the only way we can prevent this is to disable the plugin completely. This probably wouldn’t be as much of a problem if it wasn’t for Google attempting to also index the website and requesting translations of every single page on the site…

Just thought you should know. We will be informing all our customers using the plugin that we are disabling it and to check your site for updates. Ideally, in the case of a failure by the translation engine it should just gracefully die instead of trying to kill the webserver

“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error” - This is the message I get when I try to activate the plugin. I deactivated all other plugins, yet no difference. I did try it with V1, V2 and V3b
Any idea what’s wrong?

Once it works, is there a way to put the flags in my header?

Thanx

Ponderings and rants with the odd link tossed in for good measure.
