Set subtitle default on multilingual site

Gbrother 6 years, 11 months ago

Hello.

My site is in Korean and English.
I am offering English subtitles. Can I make English subtitles appear by default on the English site only? I hope English subtitles appear without pressing the CC button.

I also know about the “Subtitles On By Default” setting. However, when this function is utilized, English subtitles become default on Korean site.

I want to make subtitles default on English sites only.

Thank you.

Hello Gbrother,

what do you use to set the site language? What plugin do you use to run your WordPress in multiple languages?

If it’s using some core WordPress function we could use that to pick the default subtitles. Currently it always just picks the first one.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Martin.

I’m using WPML plugin.

What should I do?

Hello Gbrother,

based on this documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-coding-api/ we can just check ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE to get the current language.

Could you please reinstall FV Player from this link? https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/wpml-support.zip To do that you will have to first deactivate and delete the current FV Player plugin you are using. WordPress will warn you that you might loose settings and data, but it’s not the case with our plugin, no settings now videos will be lost. Or you can just replace the plugin files via FTP.

Then it should pick the default subtitles based on the WPML language, if “Subtitles On By Default” is enabled.

Thanks,
Martin
