Re: How to translate bbPress to another language

There’s a good overview of bbPress’ translation framework (with links to existing translations and to useful posts) on bbshowcase.org:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-translation-internationalization-into-local-languages

According to that, bbPress uses the same translation approach as WordPress:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#gettext_files

The approach seems to be:

1) You download the POT file, which has all the English strings in it.

2) You translate the strings into your language (Greek) and save the file as a .po file

3) You optimize the .po file into a machine readable .mo file

Looks like you can get the bbPress POT file for whichever version you’re using here:

Good luck!
