qtranslate quick tags don't work in custom fields

Question

Anyone familiar with qtranslate? Do you know how to enable custom field quick tag support? at the moment it just prints out <!--:ge-->სახელი<!--:--><!--:en-->name<!--:--><!--:ru-->imia<!--:--> without actually translating anything.

Answer 1

I figured this one out too, 1-2 hours of research!

So, to make qtranslate quick tags work with custom fields, this is what you do:

<?php _e(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Activities', true));?>

_e and all quicktags work perfectly but not full version but shorthand version [:en] etc.
