qtranslate coding to make vantage themes bilingual

I am trying to make my site bilingual using qtranslate pluging, so far i have experienced no conflict between the plugin in vantage theme as I can make many things bilingual in themes. Nevertheless, I have got some problem finding the directory of the php files of login and registration form, listing creation form, and many others relating php files to put the qtranslate code to make them bilingual. Some of my friend who are using vantage v.1.1.4 told me they only need to edit them in the appearance editor, those files include form-login.php, create-listing.php and so on. but when I tried to edit them in v.1.2, I just can't find where to put the qtranslate code as these php files have been modified in the new version and the code has been change almost completely, so please let me know if I have to find the other connecting php files to edit instead, and what are their directories. Thanks in advance.

Hmm, 2 things that I do not quite understand:

1. What qTranslate code do you mean?
2. There are files named form-login, form-registration and form-listing in the vantage root directory, and if you read those, you can see where they redirect the user. What is it you do not understand in the code?

Quite frankly, and I do not mean to offend: if you are unable to read this, you maybe should not be editing PHP files? Just a thought.

To give you an example to the above:

in form-login.php, in the root folder of the Vantage theme, you will find this line:This tells us that we need to look in "APP_FRAMEWORK_DIR", which is the folder /framework/, for a sub-folder /templates/ and therein for a file named form-login.php

So, if you need to apply changes to the login form, you do it in /wp-content/themes/vantage/framework/templates/form-login.php . Bear in mind that if you make functional changes here (such as additional information from the user), you will need to handle also the writing of the information you collect into the database.

Thanks domino1957, actually, I have no skill in php, all I can do to edit my sites is to follow the helpful answers likes yours in difference forums. By the way, the qtranslate code that I ll put is as simple as this [:en] for English, and [:kh] for Khmer language. I have sucessfully put them in some php files of the themes and other plugin already, I just couldn't find where those files are. Many of people in my impoverish Cambodia need language aid when they go online. Thanks.

Thank you for your detailed explanation.

The shortcodes that you are mentioning are, however, not primarily intended to go into the PHP files. You would use them in widgets, or in posts, in the editor.
