Message from webmaster tools regarding incorrect rel-alternate tags

[Marcin Kalak]

Translated URL must first be found in database cache. Flags are translated when the address is already translated in database cache.

Okay - so what would prevent a translated URL from being in the database cache? In the example I posted above the URL's are translated, but the flag links are not, so does that mean that they are not in the database cache?

[Marcin Kalak]

We do not have the option to add to database cache only translated url - cache is enabled or not. We do not support this distinction. If URL is translated and the flag will not be translated then URL is not in the database cache.
So assuming: it is working for guests only, with delayed requests for translation - for performance reasons. More information: http://www.vbenterprisetranslator.co...html#post13517

Okay - I have done everything outlined in the faq, as previously stated, but flag URL's are not being translated.

[tavenger5]

Okay, I think something is literally getting lost in translation here.

I understand how everything works. I've reviewed how flag urls are supposed to be translated only when guests are viewing the page. The problem is, they are not being translated. This is not because I am out of quota, it's because something isn't working properly.

Example:
English page: ** spectrum 2 change apn settings
The flag URL on that page for French: http://cellphoneforums.net/**/fr/t36...-settings.html
The flag URL for french should be: (Français) ** spectrum 2 modification des paramètres de l'apn

Note that the flag URL's are not the translated URL's despite the pages being translated. The guest cache has cleared since the translations have been made.

again, see the above. I'm either not setting something correctly or there is a bug in the software preventing flags from showing the translated URL.

[Marcin Kalak]

OK, I tested this issue.

[tavenger5]

OK, I tested this issue.

Thank you - if it helps, my forum charset is ISO-8859-1

The issue is that your hook parse_templates is triggered too quickly. Please, you update your vB.

The issue is that your hook parse_templates is triggered too quickly. Please, you update your vB.

I'm not sure what that means. Do you mean update to vbulletin 4.2.2 ? What is the difference between 4.1.12 and 4.2.2 on how parse_templates is handled?

[tavenger5]

...or do you mean update the execution order of "Generate flags" which uses the parse_templates hook?
