Buddypress Notifications

[joy]

Hello, how do I change the wording in the buddypress notifications?

Currently, if someone posts a comment to a blog post, the notifications reads: “xx has posted a comment to your update”. I would like it to read: “xx has posted a comment to your blog post”.

Thank you.

Hello, you could try using the plugin Loco Translate to change strings of the buddypress plugin and the theme 🙂

Theme strings and plugins strings can easily be changed by using Loco Translate plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/
<h3>A small introduction on how translations work</h3>
Translatable strings can come from the theme or from the installed plugins. You need to translate the theme or the plugin depending on what section of the site your string is found.

For example if your string is on your BuddyPress profile then most probably you will need to translate BuddyPress plugin. If you are on the Forums section of your site then bbPress plugin should be the one that needs to be translated. Another example is the rtMedia plugin that adds the Media links to BuddyPress and if you want to translate it then this plugin will contain the string.
<h3>Follow these steps to get you started:</h3>

• Install Loco Translate plugin
• Go to the plugin dashboard: WP Admin – Tools – Manage translations
• Find the theme or plugin in the list.
• If the language isn’t already in the list then click Add new language, choose your language and if you are asked where you want to save the language files choose global language directory ( wp-content/languages/ ).
• Press SYNC button to synchronise your translation with the provided .pot file
• Search for the string you want to translate and add your translated string.
• Press Save when you finished your translation.

Note: You will have to set the language for your blog from WP-admin – Settings – General – Site Language – Choose your language

Cheers

Hi,

You can use loco translate to translate those actions then de-activate it, loco translate only scans plugins for strings and generate po/mo files for those.

Instead of de_DE there should be your lang code

Hi, I wasn’t aware that I would be able to set my translations and then de-activate the plugin. However, I’ve tried to make the translations, and they just don’t work. Would you mind looking into it?

I’ve only tried to change one line so far, but it won’t work. In the Buddypress english file, I have changed, “username commented on one of your updates” to “username commented on one of your conversations”.

Thank you.

Never mind, closing this ticket.

Ok
