I'm doing some work for a client at the moment using WordPress and I wanted to change some of the admin backend text without modifying core files. Localization using an <code>en.mo</code> file turned out to be the way to go.</p> <p>I believe bbPress supports <em>localization</em> as well. It's probably going to be the route you'll want to take. (edit: it does, BBLANG in config.php, drop the .mo file in <code>/bb-includes/languages/</code> I would assume)</p> <p>The file you'll need to edit is a compiled binary, so you'll have to get the bbpress.pot file, probably from the bbPress site somewhere. (edit: <a href="http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/" rel="nofollow">http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/</a>)</p> <p>Once you've got the file, check out poEdit (http://sourceforge.net/projects/poedit/). It's an open-source cross-platform mo/po/pot editor. Create a <code>New catalog from .pot file</code>, make sure the option to compile to .mo is checked in the preferences, and you should be good to go.</p> <p>The top-left box contains the text to be translated, the bottom-left contains the "translation." Ctrl-F, find the string, and you're good from there.</p> <p>Note: I haven't tried this with bbPress but it works great with WordPress. Hope it helps. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-want-to-change-bbpress-default-text#post-9242 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 15:10:25 +0000 outchy 9242@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>where can i change this default text for these links at the bottom of topic.php:</p> <p>&lt;?php topic_delete_link(); ?&gt; &lt;?php topic_close_link(); ?&gt; &lt;?php topic_sticky_link(); ?&gt;</p> <p>i can't find it except in template-functions.php, which i won't ever touch again :) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-want-to-change-bbpress-default-text#post-8488 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 20:06:40 +0000 mdawaffe 8488@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Change it in your template.</p> <p>Find your theme's logged-in.php file. Look for <code>bb_profile_link()</code> and change it to</p> <pre><code>bb_profile_link( &quot;Use my text instead&quot; );</code></pre> <p>(If you're using the default theme, first copy the bb-templates/kakumei/ directory to a new directory called my-templates/my-theme/, activate that new theme from the Presentation admin panel and edit those files instead). </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-want-to-change-bbpress-default-text#post-8486 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 18:57:15 +0000 fel64 8486@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It probably is. But what are you going to do when you need to update? If you make more changes? Could become very unwieldy very quick. Translation is the way to go. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-want-to-change-bbpress-default-text#post-8484 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 18:51:13 +0000 DeSantes 8484@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I actually found it. The text can be found in the "template-functions.php" file. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-want-to-change-bbpress-default-text#post-8482 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 18:24:38 +0000 fel64 8482@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You basically want to translate it. Not sure how it's done but there are a few translation threads around here. (Some changes you can also make in the theme but by no means all of them.) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-want-to-change-bbpress-default-text#post-8479 Mon, 25 Jun 2007 18:18:18 +0000 DeSantes 8479@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi. I'm looking to change the wording in some areas. Is there a central place to do this?</p> <p>For example, I would like to change "View your profile" to "Profile" where can I do this? </p>
