Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) 1.5 was released last December. While not a 64 bit app yet, it is very easy to get the AIR 1.5 working on Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 version.

1. Install needed libraries

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

2. Download the installer

wget -c http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/1.5/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

3. Install AIR

./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

(note may need to

chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin

)

4. Copy extra Adobe library file

sudo cp /usr/lib/libadobecertstore.so /usr/lib32

5. Install AIR apps via web.

I use qTranslate WordPress plugin. Here is the list of its features:

• No need to edit the plugin file to get your language working! - Use the comfortable Configuration Page
• No more adding language tags into your text! - Let qTranslate manage them for you
• No more problems with <!--more--> tags in multilingual content! - qTranslate will make them work the way you want it
• Comes with many languages already builtin! - English, German, Simplified Chinese and a lot of others
• Add you language in seconds! - Thanks to the comfortable Configuration Page
• Multilingual Text in Templates without the need to change .mo files - Use Language Tags with Gettext!
• Static language URLs with the language information at the beginning - Simple and beautiful /de/foo/ instead of /foo/lang-pref/de/
• and a lot more…

How to configure plugin

Just copy plugin files into wp-content/plugins/ folder as for other plugins, configure plugin after it is activated:

1. Disable or delete languages that aren’t used.
2. Add new languages:
3. Upload *.mo files (you can download them here) into wp-content/languages folder.
4. Upload en_US.mo to the same folder as above if you plan to use English.

Enable support of qTranlsate in Google XML Sitemaps plugin

Google XML Sitemaps has experimental support of qTranslate, to enable this feature just edit sitemap-core.php and change:

1907

$useQTransLate = false; //function_exists('qtrans_convertURL'); //Not ready yet

to

1907

$useQTransLate = function_exists('qtrans_convertURL');

What to do if your theme doesn’t support internationalization?

There is a version of default theme with internationalization support, it can be downloaded here.
