## Description

Adds an extra panel to the post/page edit page which allows you to enter the META
keywords & description for that page in each enabled language. Also adds an optional
browser title override (does not affect post title).

Note 1: This plugin requires that [qTranslate](http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/)
is installed and activated.

Note 2: This plugin does not work well with [All In One SEO](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/)
and potentially any other plugin or theme which tries to set your META tags.

## Installation

 1. Upload/Copy folder to your blog’s plugin directory.
 2. Ideally disable any other SEO plugins/features, such as AIOSEO and Theme Hybrid’s
    SEO functionality.
 3. Activate the plugin.
 4. When adding/editing any post/page, use the simple interface to set your META tags.
 5. You can also view a summary of your page’s META tags via Pages -> META Summary.

## FAQ

  How do translate my site title/tagline?

In **Settings → General**, use the qTranslate shortcodes, e.g.: `[:en]English title[:
it]Titolo italiano`.
 (This is a feature of qTranslate itself, not of qTranslate
META).

  My title is not as I expect

This often has to do with your theme and any other plugins that may hook onto the`
wp_title` filter.
 There is no straight answer for this, you simply have to figure
out what’s going on and look closely at your theme, often in the `header.php` file.
See the comments on [this blog post](http://blog.johnjcamilleri.com/2010/01/qtranslate-and-multilingual-meta-tags/)
for ideas.

  Why does it not work with AIOSEO / other SEO plugins?

Yes, I know this may be a drawback for some users. It may be possible that they 
can happily coexist, but I only developed this plugin for my own needs and don’t
really have the time to make it play nice with other SEO plugins, sorry! :/

  Why do I get a warning when downloading the META summary to Excel?

When doing this you will get a warning saying:

    ```
    The file you are trying to open, '...', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted sources before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?
    ```

This is normal, because the file generated is not actually Excel but HTML. However
Excel will successfully convert it, so just click yes to the warning and then save
a copy of the downloaded file.
