Translating with poedit

[veggist]

Hi! I`M using poedit to translate BuddyPress, and wonder where to save the translated files? In the /wp-content/languages/plugins-folder the only plugin listed there is akismet, and in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-folder theres no language-folder?

[Laura]

Hello, create a folder in buddypress and call it bp-languages , then drop your files there. Also inside wp-content/languages/plugins and drop them there, the name of the files should be buddypress-es_Es.mo/po

Hi, it seems like my bbpress-nb_NO.mo/po-files somehow disapeared after updating the theme. and after uploading the files again as you described over here, they do not kick in. Why is that?

[Laura]

Hello, what else did you update?

Hello, i reactivated your plugins and saw your translations, everything seems working fine, maybe its the directory, do you have also those translations inside of wp-content/languages/plugins (.mo and .po can be found in bp-languages) ?

Well, the translations in buddypress and bbpress is not active
I have the theme translation in /public_html/wp-content/themes/sweetdate/languages and /public_html/wp-content/languages and in the child theme /public_html/wp-content/themes/sweetdate-child/languages
The bbpress langfiles are in/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages and /public_html/wp-content/languages/plugins
The buddypress langfiles are in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages

But now I just found a wp-install in /public_html/wp-content/languages, and I don´t know why that is there. Is this causing the problem?

[Laura]

Hello, the translation should be in wp-content/languages/plugins
Do you have it inside languages or inside languages/plugins?

Well, as I wrote in my last post, I have them in:

-wp-content/themes/sweetdate/languages (theme language)
-wp-content/themes/sweetdate-child/languages (theme language)
-wp-content/languages/plugins (bbpress-nb_NO.po/mo)
-wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages (buddypress-nb_NO.po/mo)
-wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages (bbpress-nb_NO.po/mo)

In the forum I have read that some have them in the language folders, others on the plugin folder. I just want to make sure my translation are kicking in and NOT being lost in updates. Why is the translations not workking now? Do you need login credentials? (I think I submitted that earlier in the ticket)

[Laura]

Hello, can you share your translation files and FTP credentials? I can try to do a clean install of your translations.

This is my structure and it’s working fine for me:

BuddyPress
wp-content/languages/buddypress-nb_NO.po/mo

bbPress
wp-content/languages/plugins/bbpress-nb_NO.po/mo

Sweetdate
wp-content/themes/sweetdate/languages/nb_NO.po/mo

I also use a child theme, but I don’t have any language files there.

All other plugin translations go into the wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder except for the Paid Memberships Pro plugin, that goes into wp-content/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/languages/pmpro-nb_NO.po/mo.

I used the localize plugin before, but I deleted it because it seems to do more harm than good, so now I only use poedit and this seems to work better for me.

I like this setup because when I update a plugin I don’t have to worry about overwriting anything, plus it keeps it nice and neat, everything in one place, well except for the PMP plugin and the theme (sweetdate) which doesn’t work in the wp-content/languages/ folder for some (unfortunate) reason. It would be REALLY nice if they did though, cause then everything would be in one single folder (wp-content/languages).

Oh, and the BuddyPress translation can also go into the wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder if you want, but I’ve read somewhere that if you do it might get overwritten during a BuddyPress update. So I leave it in the languages folder instead and it works perfectly.

My website (for reference) is http://www.norskmodell.no

I am using the same structure you but it does not work

[Laura]

Hello all, have you tried Loco Translate plugin? It seems to work for me

@Laura:
I gave you the ftp credentials so you could log in and check and I`m still waiting for a feedback on that
I don´t want to mess up any more by installing and trying out other translating plugins in the meantime.
Whats the status?

[josebaberri]

I have the same problem, in the user profile page, few words i couldn´t translate.

[josebaberri]

[Laura]

Hello jose, could you share how you fixed it so other users can use it?
