Translating BBPress gone wrong

    • Posted 1 year ago #

    Hello!

    I'm trying to get BBPress to run in my language, but as of now I'm stuck.. Here's what I did:

    1. Download the .mo file from here: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/et_EE/branches/0.9/
    2. Upload it (et_EE.po) to bbpress-root-dir/my-languages
    3. Edit out the "define( 'BB_LANG', 'et_EE' );" line.
    4. Expect it to work.

    Point 4. seems to be the problem in my case, because the expected result doesn't match the reality..

    The bbpress site in question: http://lightheaded.eu/bethelp/forum/
    (Sorry for the foreign language)
    I'm using the default Kakumei template with deep integration.

    I have resolved the problem. All I did was specify the MO file name in WPML settings. Didn't know they were related..

    -edit- Nope, not resolved afterall. It appears that the localization file is grabbed from [wp-dir]/wp-content/languages, not the bbpress loc. file. And some strings remain untranslated, like posts count, RSS feed links and freshness times..

    Some translations do not have all the phrases done. They may be from older versions of bbpress or the person who did it just didn't bother.

    There may be a newer translation file or you may have to add the translations yourself.

    See my topic here about it all:
