Hi, I’ve searched around the web for some hours now and hopefully I’ll get the correct answer from you.

I need to translate the plugin bbPress into Norwegian, I’ve fetched the translation from http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/nb/default and made sure every string is there with the .po editing software Poedit. I’ve downloaded both .po and .mo file for the Norwegian translation.

Norwegian is activated generally as WordPress language already.

So the problem is the localization and naming of the files, I’ve tried different directories and names:
wp-content/languages/bbpress-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/languages/bbpress-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/languages/bbPress/bbpress-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/languages/bbPress/bbpress-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-langauge-nb_NO.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-langauge-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-plugin-nb.po and .mo
wp-content/plugins/bbPress/languages/bbpress-plugin-nb_NO.po and .mo

None of them seems to work, what is the correct localization and naming?

Hmmm…. Looking at https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

Takes me here …https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#Bokm.C3.A5l_.28nb_NO.29

Now I presume we should be using `nb_NO` thus `bbpress-nb_NO.po` & `bbpress-nb_NO.mo`

Try uploading the files names above to `/wp-content/languages/bbpress/` and ensure as per your example above that the bbpress folder is not spelled with a capital P (i.e. NOT bbPress, just bbpress)

Yeah the folder name for bbpress had a capital, I changed it but it made no difference.

What is in your wp-config?

Is there anything here that will help?

What is in your wp-config?

In wp-config I’ve set the same language as I’m trying to get bbPress in, nb_NO

The Norwegian WordPress forums doesn’t help much in this problem I’m sorry, some of them had the same problem before but they never came up with a solution. Also, the posts is old, and it seems a lot of directories has changed since then.

[Stephen Edgar]

Using `define(‘WPLANG’, ‘nb_NO’);` in /wp-config.php
`/wp-content/languages/nb-NO.mo`
`/wp-content/languages/nb_NO.po`
`/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-nb_NO.mo`
`/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-nb_NO.po`

It looks like ‘most’ of what strings have been translated is working correctly.

/wp-content/languages/nb-NO.mo
/wp-content/languages/nb_NO.po
/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-nb_NO.mo
/wp-content/languages/bbpress/bbpress-nb_NO.po

It looks like ‘most’ of what strings have been translated is working correctly.

Where did you fetch the translation from?

[Stephen Edgar]

Apologies… I should have clarified that in my last post…

bbPress .po & .mo https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/nb/default
WordPress .po & .mo https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/nb/default

I am also using WordPress 3.6 Beta and bbPress 2.3 RC1
