I would first of all try the more up to date version of this
bbPress – Moderation Tools
and then reach out to the support forum of that pluigin
How to get front-end texts translated in Finnish? moderation-tools-for-bbpress
does not have any *.po or *.pot files.
These should get translated:
* approved
* report
* report reason + all related options
Those can’t translate – those has FIXED texts. I must directly edit the text. :(.
Developers have been extremely lazy!
At least report.php should be able to translate because those relate with front end user.
All backend features can be in English.
1. I’m not sure that it is appropriate to describe someone who has taken considerable time to write a plugin that is entirely free to you as ‘extremely lazy’.
2. then complaining about this plugin on another plugins support site is also not appropriate.
I did have another word in place of ‘appropriate’ above, but changed this for politeness.
Please realise that you benefit from others free work, and that you should be ‘extremely’ grateful for this.
you can always use this in your functions file or the snippets plugin
//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
$translated_text = 'new text';
}
if ( $translated_text == 'more old text' ) {
$translated_text = 'more new text';
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );
and just keep repeating the if statement
Sorry about my inappropriate words, but I just assumed that if some text is used for ordinary participants, the text should IMO be translate able.
If there is no translation using po/mo-files then fields to set the desired text like in bbp_style_pack. Indeed that doesn’t work with multilingual sites if there is not another installation or WordPress for other languages (I don’t have looked, how WordPress could work with multilingual sites).
I don’t figure which function file Robin W. means. Many plugins has the functions.php file.
moderation-tools-for-bbpress does not have functions.php (like for example bbp_style_pack or the used theme has).
I got all other front end texts translated into Finnish using *.po(t) files except text of moderation-tools-for-bbpress.
your child theme function file, or if you don’t know what that means, install this plugin and put it there
Code Snippets
Get working with the plugin. I just changed one text, which was not in the report.php file.
Next time when I update the plugin I must add translation as code snippets.
Thank’s.
Yes, I don’t understand, what is child theme function.php file.
I have used twentyfourteen. I don’t have any child theme for it but the theme does have function.php.
BTW. A Finnish user had complained in the conversation page of the plugin moderation-tools-for-bbpress about the same issue (I saw from the nickname that the person was Finnish).
Thank’s Robin about the Code Snippet suggestion. I can add to HEAD some own code easily.
I asked https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-before-the/ about an ssue.
sorry, I have 6 plugins of my own to support, I don’t plan answering other author’s support forums
