Hello!
BbPress 2.5.14 WordPress 4.9.4
I define the language of the user’s browser in the php template.
And I want to change the bbpress (.mo) translation languages depending on the browser language.
How can i do this?

Hello! As you can see here string is not translated but into bbpress-it_IT.po is already translated.
This is a theme issue?

Lol, I already contacted my theme developer, they said I should contact BBpress support because they don’t alter it in any way. Could it be caused by the dutch translation being longer than the English version?

Anyway I’ll contact them again, if they don’t offer a solution I will go the css way.

Thanks

Regarding Windows Server 2008 r2 computer, translation started working fine and only one, but important thing for us, still does not work – anonymous user can’t create new theme on forum.

Please, take a look at the screen shot below.

The translation of error message:

ERROR: Are you sure you want to do it?

[Stephen EdgarKeymaster]

Apologies @tesicg, I presumed you were using IIS because Windows 2008 Server R2 😉

Ignore the IIS suggestion I made, you’re using XAMPP so they would be useless.

For translations check your WordPress updates page for any available translation updates, both bbPress 2.5.x (the current release) and upcoming 2.6.x releases are 100% translated into Russian: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ru/default/wp-plugins/bbpress

There might have been a fix for “port conflicts” in the upcoming bbPress 2.6, could you try that and see if it is fixed please? https://bbpress.org/download/

If 2.6 doesn’t fix it could you add details on whats different between your 2008 Server and Windows 7 install, strange that XAMPP works on one and not the other

Hi @alexwilmac,
Are you trying to update bbPress translation? Because that’s all centrally managed, so better do it there. If you need any help with that, just leave me a message here.
Pascal.

Hi

I am using bbpress on hebrew website.
Using Poedit to translate
I have managed to translate most strings but I have the string “on” in english on which appears on line 1186 in widgets.php
i also tried editing the php code on this row and replacing “on” with a hebrew string and uploading to wp-content/child/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php but this didnt work
also in po file tried translating string and replacing “on” with “test” this didnt work either.

I cant seem to apply any css on this either

Hey, sorry if it has been answered before…
The are some words that don’t seem to be translated in French like “at” or “by” in the forum main page.
Therefore i tried to translate them with loco translate, but the translation is written as 100% done, and I can’t find any correspondance in the translation file.

What can I do ?

Thanks a lot!

Hi
I have a weird problem with bbpress
most of the words in bbpress is not translated but some is
like: Freshness is in english but the no topics is translated to arabic
i have the latest version of bbpress
i have configured wp_config.php to arabic
and my default wordpress language is arabic
also i double checked all the translation files in this directory
–/wp-content/languages/bbpress
and
—/wp-content/languages/plugins/bbpress
and still a lot of sentences is completely in english even though when i use the loco translation plugin and search for this words they show up translated just fine

Hi everybody, first post here! 😉

I hope somebody can help me, since I’m having problems with the translation of a new bbPress installation… It’s kind of strange actually, because it seems to translate only part of the strings, but if I check my .mo & .po files they’re fully translated, just how it should be.

I’ve been using WordPress for years but it’s the first time I used bbPress as well, so I followed these instructions religiously.
(I actually only had to change the directory in which I put the .mo & .po files to wp-content/languages/plugins, since putting them in wp-content/languages/bbpress/ – I had to create this folder to try – like written in the documentation won’t work. After that I tried to put them in every other “logic” place that came to mind with no success)

Here are a couple of screenshot to let me show my “half translated/half not” situation:
EDIT: img’s won’t work so here are the links

I have the same issue, my custom translation doesn’t work.

As far as I understand the problem exist for a year already:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37819

Hello,

Can somebody please tell me how translation of bbpress works?

What I did:

I installed WordPress and set my default language
I installed bbpress plugin
I installed Loco translate
I create the map languages/bbpress on ftp
I downloaded the .po and .mo and put in the map

But nothing is working! Can somebody help me please?

Hi, I have installed bbpress and uploaded the bbpress-es.mo and bbpress-es_US.po files in

wp-content> language> plugins

but it doesnt works.
I have added this line to wp-config.php

define (‘BBLANG’, ‘es_ES’);

But nothing was happened, all help is welcome ..!
Thank you..!

[Stephen EdgarKeymaster]

You shouldn’t need to do any of the above, setting your WordPress install to use German as the default language should automatically download bbPress’ translations.

p.s. If you’re using the method above for a different reason, uploading them to wp-content/languages/bbpress instead of wp-content/languages/buddypress would be the answer 😉

[carlosburgosParticipant]

OK, Robin, thanks for your help.

Two plugins were generating the conflict:

1. Filtro de Traducción Transposh
Translation filter for WordPress, After enabling please set languages at the the options page Want to help? visit our development site at trac.transposh.org.
Versión 0.9.6 | Por Equipo Transposh

2. W3 Total Cache
The highest rated and most complete WordPress performance plugin. Dramatically improve the speed and user experience of your site. Add browser, page, object and database caching as well as minify and content delivery network (CDN) to WordPress.
Versión 0.9.5.4 | Por Frederick Townes

Now all is OK. But maybe it helps to know these two plugins to create some kind of solution.

Regards 🙏

Hi,
bbPress translation is centralized here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/ru/default

If you want to propose a new translation so everybody in the world that uses it in Russian gets your update (when it gets approved), then you can do that using the above link.

If you only want to change it on your local installation, you can read the codex on https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/

[Pascal CasierModerator]

Goede middag Jos,

The translation is done centrally and changing it would change it for everybody in the (Dutch speaking) world. If you think it should be changed, feel free to join the #polyglots channel on the Dutch local slack that you can find on https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/about/teams/local-slacks/

If you want to change it only for your own website, I would just change the width adding some extra CSS like:

.bbp-login-form label {
    width: 150px;
}

(you might need the !important to make it work)

Pascal.

[Pascal CasierModerator]

Hi,
But you should not need to run anything from https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/ . If you have a standard WordPress install, the language files are downloaded automatically.

How about other plugins that have translations available, do they work ? Like SEO or something ?

[pcalexpcParticipant]

Hi,

I tried to start back from 0. I reinstalled wordpress 4.7.3, deleted loco translate, deleted and reinstalled bbpress. I then followed this guide : https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/ to download and install a translation which is apparently 100% complete for my language. Still it’s not completely working. I verified in /wp-admin/update-core.php and I have no updates. You cannot blame loco translate this time as it’s not even installed anymore on my website. Also, I can know my wordpress language is correctly setup because some translation does work as you can see on the following image :

Please help me, this really seem like a bug with your plugin…

Thanks

[Pascal CasierModerator]

One last thing: Check that there are no translation downloads waiting here: /wp-admin/update-core.php

[pcalexpcParticipant]

Hi,

My language is already set to french and no translation have been downloaded… I am not using wpml but Loco Translate for updating my language files. I also can translate some of the string but not all so I know my translation setup is correct.

Thanks

[Pascal CasierModerator]

@pcalexpc

If you switch your WordPress to Français in /wp-admin/options-general.php (Options > General), WordPress will download the French translation for bbPress automatically.

Pascal.

Hi, I am trying to translate the frontend section of my forum, but I can only translate parts of it. Here’s a screenshot :

As you can see, I can translate the top sentence, but I cannot translate the form part. I even tried to manually edit the php files without success (reverted to default files after).

I am using Loco Translate for editing my translations and my wordpress language is correctly set because I can translate some parts. I also can see the sentences in the Loco Editor but event after changing them, they do not change in the frontend.

I hope I have given enough informations.

Thanks

following

(newest WP, newest polylang, newest bbpress) – same issue, polylang string translations works fine and are displayed in frontend where used, but bbpress content (forums, posts, comments) are all language-neutral, so same content are displayed in every “polylang-language-site”.

Does bbpress support multi-language at all, or do we miss some setting/plugin?
