ImHuman multilanguage and new wordpress plugin

While trying to overcome problems at SuperNo's blog which were mainly due to older PHP version, I had the chance to put the project into second gear thanks to SuperNo. ImHuman now speaks french :) ! all you need to do is to add

lang=LANG_CODE

Parameters in to your request string where LANG_CODE can be en or fr for now. If you would like to see it in your own language contact me.

I am going to update the repository in couple minutes. New wordpress plugin features are:

  • Requires PHP5, reduced in size.
  • works with AJAX, Jquery mandatory.
  • No more manual imhuman_render() insertion anymore
  • Supports Multilanguage (English and French only for now)
  • No more cache or back key problems if you guess the answer wrong and go back in your browser
  • You can customize your instruction message in your own language or format also

Javascript cross library programming

Javascript were generally used amateourly to provide animation effects before web 2.0 attack and xmlhttprequest api. Nowadays many open source libraries are published in order to write less and do much much more.  Jquery, Prototype, Mootols, Dojo, Ext are some of the popular ones.  So why we love them, just to write less? Noo, mostly they have powerful selectors.  As usual first internet explorer then Safari do not obey the language rules and change them in their personal favor. These libraries mostly eliminate the cross platform issues also.  Finally, they all wait for the document to be ready in order to be fire an event. Thus eliminates all weird AJAX and DOM actions that is dependent on DOM content. They added fancy effects to old boring text content! That is why we love and can not do without them now.

But they have created another problem. Lets say you are publishing some class, web software, plugin for some CMS. You may use one of these libraries but the target client may use another one or not use at all.  Furthermore this libraries are version dependant. Updates in the library may require you to update your software also. Making your software dependent on one of them decreases the product compatibility. They all have different APIs and structures no way to globalize them under a roof.  So what should you do? Make your software compatible with all of them.
