<title> displays both languages

Hi, Any idea how to make the site <title> display only in one language?

  • I have a WordPress site and I'm using qTranslate-X plugin for translation.
  • I have two languages (English and Deutsch).
  • I'm on the page titled Map (English) and Landkarte (Deutsch).
  • The general site title is Maja Blejec.

The title is written like this:

<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>

and displays like this in the browser's tab:

MapLandkarte - Maja Blejec

So what shroud I do to make it display like this (if I'm on English site):

Map - Maja Blejec

and like this if I'm on Deutsch site:

Landkarte - Maja Blejec

Hi Maja,

I haven't tried this myself but could you use the following combined with an if statement?

get_bloginfo ('language');

get_bloginfo ('language');

gives EN or English language and DE for Deutsch language. But how does that affect the title tag in the head?

I don't understand ...

Hi Maja,

Sorry for the delay. I had misunderstood the question.

It's a slightly older post but does this help?

Thanks, Rich,

Following the link you have provided, I've tried this:

<?php $post_meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'meta_key', true) ?>
<title><?php echo qtrans_use($q_config['language'], $post_meta, true);  ?></title>
´```

but it does not work (the site is blocked completely and it does not load at all; seems like a major error).

One important thing is that I'm not using qTranslate but qTranslate-X.

Ah ok, not sure I'm going to be much help I'm afraid. As I say I haven't had to implement this myself so it's a little bit of guess work hence the link. Will come back if I find anything in the meantime.
