Lost translation files on update

[Globetrekker]

I just updated the theme while having my child theme activated. Isn’t that the way I should do?
I’m getting confused since my Danish translations now seem to be lost under the Sweetdate section – I use CodeStyling Localization.

Did I do something wrong and how can I fix it?
I took a backup before updating 🙂

Hello, well, if you place your translations in wp-content/languages then it should work, because an update replaces all the files, included translations from the themes/sweetdate

Hi Laura

I have created the sweetdate-child/languages folder to put my po/mo files.
To me it’s neater to keep all my custom files under one roof in my sweetdate-child folder.

However they do not load, because they are simply not called by any function.
What Sweetdate php file actually points to the /languages folder?
I would then simply copy/paste it from /sweetdate to /sweetdate-child.

Alternatively, if I follow the method you advise, how should those po/mo files be named if put in wp-content/languages?
In your original sweetdate/languages they are simply called en_US.mo.
Should it be sweetdate-en_US.mo or sweetdate-child-en_US.mo or anything else?

Thank you

Hello, yes, just following the same name that the ones in wp-content/languages/themes folder
Its the easier way of having a backup of your translations 🙂
