class selector doesn't seem to work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When trying to use jquery-translate with a classname based selector nothing 
happens. 

$('a').translate('ar'); // works.
$('.post-tag').translate('ar'); // does not work.

Using: Version: 1.4.1

Thanks!

Since this plugin doesn't discriminate elements based on a specific CSS query 
there must be 
something else causing this issue, which I'd happily help solving but I'd need 
some relevant 
information to do that, for example the actual website or at least some part of 
the markup.

Thanks Balazs - you can have a look at http://se.korneel.com. There are 
elements with 
a .post-tag class that I want to translate. The jQuery is below.

$(document).ready(function(){

  // other stuff

  //$('a').translate('ar'); // works
  $('.post-tag').css('color','#4253ea'); // for reference to check that selector is 
working
  $('.post-tag').translate('ar'); // does not work

});

Thanks!

Update: The above seems to only hold true for the homepage - on all other pages 
the 
translation does work. I have no idea why...

If you use the `error` callback, it says that it "could not reliably detect 
source 
language":

$('.post-tag').translate('ar',{ error:function(e){ console.log(e.message) } });

Specifying a source language should fix this:

`$('.post-tag').translate('en', 'ar')`

Great - thanks! That did the trick.
