Get this file: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/1.0.2/bbpress.pot
Open it with PoEdit: http://www.poedit.net/download.php
Find the strings you need to change, for example, “Location” and translate them to what you need. Save the changes as a .po file (it will also create a .mo file). Copy both files to your bbpress directory into a folder called “my-languages”. If you don’t have such a folder, create it.
Change your bb-config.php file and you’re done.
Well, couldn’t you just go ahead and change the names of the fields in the translation file and then copy the result to my-languages.
Agreed, it may no be the best way to do this, but it’ll do the trick.
