	How to print a string in both (or more) languages when using qTranslate on Wordpress

	qTranslate provides Wordpress with multilanguage support and automates this in a pleasant way.
	However you might want to print a specific string in a specific language, somewhere in your
	theme or module.
	Use this function to extract the content from the qTranslate quicktags, and retrieve the
	title directly from the database using this query.

	You can put the function in your functions.php.
	Be careful with using SQL queries in your themefiles. This should never be a good idea!

	This is just for demonstrating purposes since qTranslates' support fora isn't doing a better job.

function ynbs_translatethis($content) {
	$regexp = '/<\!--:(\w+?)-->([^<]+?)<\!--:-->/i';
	if(preg_match_all($regexp, $content, $matches)) {
		$output = array();
		$count = count($matches[0]);
		for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
			$output[$matches[1][$i]] = $matches[2][$i];
		}
		return $output;
	} else {
		return 'no matches';
	}
}

	global $wpdb;
	$posttable = $wpdb->prefix.'posts';
	$raw_title = $wpdb->get_var($wpdb->prepare("SELECT post_title FROM $posttable WHERE id = $post_ID"));
	$ynbs_post_title = ynbs_translatethis($raw_title);

	print $ynbs_post_title['en'];
	print $ynbs_post_title['de'];

Awesome, thanks!
