Thread: Seems to be working... but not translating anything

I have installed the files accoring to your installation instructions.... and I have double-checked everything that i can think of.

When I try to translate a page. Nothing seems to translate at all...

Here is my site...

www.qhost123.com/index.php

This is just a testing site.
I want to translate to French and I place dthe french flag and link in the right hand column and created a link to here...

www.qhost123.com/lang/fr/index.php

Where is the translation???

Any help or insight would be appreciated..

http://www.qhost123.com/lang/fr/hosting_windows.php

I can't imagine how to make the script do that...

What are the contents of:

• /.htaccess
• /translate/.htaccess
• /lang/.htaccess

Not sure what you are asking me.

All i wantr to do is translate my website from Englich to french.

My site is simply an informational site written in PHP.

You implicate that your script simply "translates" a page using the Goggle translate API.

Why won't it translate my home page...?

www.qhost123.com/lang/fr/index.php


Here are the contents of my files...

• /.htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^qhost123\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.qhost123.com/$1 [R=301,L]
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .shtml .html .htm

• /translate/.htaccess (not changed from your original file)

# This line enables Apache's Rewrite Engine; it is required for the following lines

• /lang/.htaccess (not changed from your original file)

I am using my own site as a "testing site" becasue I want to use your script on a client's site. Seems like a good script, but the install and description of how to get it to work is a bit fuzzy...

Everything looks right; I'm stumped.

Are you seeing any errors in the Apache error log for that virtual host? What about the systems PHP log?

If I gave you the login details, would you be willing to FTP in and look at it for me (for a fee of course )
If so, we can exchange details via Skype or email..

My schedule is absolute hell for the next couple of weeks. We're back in the U.S., packing up the house to move everything to Singapore. After that, I can find some time.

Your issue looks to be eerily complex to troubleshoot.
