The slideshow wasn’t developped to be used in a multilingual environment, and therefore it’s not possible to add more than one caption to each slide. So you might have your whole site in more languages, but the captions would always be in that one language.

But there is a solution!

To make your slideshow multilingual, install and activate the qTranslate plugin, and the Widget Logic plugin.

Add the qTranslate widget to your sidebar.

Then add a slideshow widget for each language, giving each the captions in that language.

At the end of the usual slideshow settings, you’ll find a new one called ‘Widget logic’. Put the following code in there:

(function_exists('qtrans_getLanguage') && qtrans_getLanguage()=="xx")

You must put the code of the desired language instead of the xx.

For example, ‘en’ is english, ‘de’ is german, ‘it’ is italian, ‘nl’ is dutch, ‘fr’ is french, ‘es’ is spanish.

Try it, it works great. And let me know if you can’t get it to work.
