It was my first talk in front of a huge audience and therefore definitely a challenge. Anyway I a am proud that I have done it and the message was recieved by the audience quite well. I had to speak in the german track therefore the video is only available in german. By the way: This Blog was created in the year 2008 and required barely any maintenance work since then – though the code is 12 years old.

It is fast and easy. For many of my projects from 2012-2017 I have chosen it over WPML or multisite multilanguage as it is super fast and easy.

Then the author suddenly has disappeared without a Word tens of thousands of WordPress sites have been affected. One year later some great guy appeared which improved qTranslate and developed it further und the name qTranslate X. Again a lot of developers and bloggers were using it. Guess what happend? The author has collected donations and again disappeared without a word. The project was abandoned again and tens of thousands of unhappy users were left behind.

After almost two years of silence I am really happy to announce that new authors have decided to continue the project with the name qTranslate XT. The project is not yet in the official plugin repository but it is available on Github: https://github.com/qtranslate/qtranslate-xt

You can replace old installations of qTranslate X and e.g. bugs with more recent versions of PHP are fixed!

All the best to the new team and I hope that the completely open source project will become even more popular in the future. This site is powered by qTranslate XT 😎
