Ajax Search – Translation handling probs…

Ok, the main problem is that the __() function won’t work with the ajax call because you first need to load all textdomains of the current language first. It’s very strange that WPML can’t use the right textdomains out of the box and it’s probably a wordpress/WPML limitation. Maybe we can’t fully resolve this issue because of the limitations but I’ll ask Kriesi to look into it. For now I can only offer a solution to translate the “Portfolio Items” caption and to translate the “View all results” text. First revert the changes I posted before, then you need to use following function to add the lang parameter to the search

if(!function_exists('add_lang_avia_ajax_search'))

{

add_action('avia_frontend_search_form', 'add_lang_avia_ajax_search');

function add_lang_avia_ajax_search()

{

if(defined('ICL_SITEPRESS_VERSION') && defined('ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE'))

{

echo '<input type="hidden" id="lang" name="lang" value="'.ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE.'" />';

}

}

}

Then you can use following code in avia_ajax_search() to load the right textdomain

if(!empty($_REQUEST['lang']))

{

global $sitepress;

$sitepress->switch_lang($_REQUEST['lang'], true);



$lang = get_template_directory()  . '/lang';

$unload = unload_textdomain('avia_framework');

$load = load_textdomain('avia_framework', $lang . '/'. get_locale() . '.mo');

}

and translate the “Portfolio Items” with

if($post_type == 'portfolio')

{

$output .= "<h4>"._x($post_type_obj[$key]->labels->name, 'post type general name','avia_framework')."</h4>";

}

else

{

$output .= "<h4>".$post_type_obj[$key]->labels->name."</h4>";

}
