You can I think… Add the translation “Topic Status” as I linked to above.
Then at the bottom of that screen you can select ‘Export’, though the dropdowns to the right you want to select “only matching the filter” then to right select “Portable Object Message Catalog (.po)” and then click the ‘export’ link on the left, save this file as bbpress-he.po
then select “Machine Object Message Catalog (.mo)” and click ‘export’ again and save this file as bbpress-he.mo
and then using FTP upload both these files to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/
and you evertyhting should be perfect. 🙂

It looks like “Topic Status” has not been translated yet 🙁

You could help by translating those 91 remaining strings and then fill out the form here and let them know “There are some strings for bbPress waiting to be validated”, once these are approved you can update your translations.

Note: In the very near future any updated translations will arrive via WordPress’ automatic updates 🙂
@cyberdrone See this to get the translations or get started with translating bbPress. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-protected-forums/
@david7h6 What shortcode is broken?
The creator/developer of bbPress or the Mods, can not help in translations, they just have to trust anybody whom submits a translation.
Kind of correct, all the translations are handled by the same translation process for WordPress
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
Using pt_BR
as an example if you take a look at: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev
You will see that Portuguese (Brazil) is at 94% translated, 975 strings translated and 60 strings untranslated.
@tvieira If you open this link it shows you the 60 strings that have yet to be translated for bbPress. You can update these strings yourself and then contact the Brazilian translator team via one of these links to get these translations approved. Once approved they should then become available via WordPress’ automatic updates in the very near future.

Don’t know in to which language you are trying to translate, looks like Brasilian (which is I think is almost Portugese).
There is a _pot (in the language folder) file that comes with bbPress, that you can translate and use on your bbPress and hopefully submit for others to use also if they need it.
If the current translation of BR/PO is wrong feel free to change it and submit it.
The creator/developer of bbPress or the Mods, can not help in translations, they just have to trust anybody whom submits a translation.
Even with the translation files for pt_BR, select this options not translated. How can I translate those options that are in the select’s as Open, spam and so on.?
That said one of the strings ‘You must be logged in to create new topics’ IS translated here so it might be the case of updating your translations.
Details to update your translations are here https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
I would also look at the 115 of 1034 strings yet to be translated looking at the details here and get those translated and then contact your local Hebrew translation team via https://he.wordpress.org/contact/ to get the strings approved.
Hello,
I am a newbie working hard on Turkish translation of this plugin. Half done, and half way to go.
While making the translation, I am also trying to figure out how to make my forum look good with a compatible colour choices of my blog theme.
So. I want to change my forum topic color and I need a help with that.
Like this

Can you try this instead 😉
Either add this to your themes functions.php
or your bbpress-functions.php
or download the entire file and install it as a plugin from https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7767761
add_filter ( 'bbp_get_reply_post_date', ntwb_bbpress_enable_date_translation, 10, 6);
add_filter ( 'bbp_get_topic_post_date', ntwb_bbpress_enable_date_translation, 10, 6);
function ntwb_bbpress_enable_date_translation( $result, $reply_id, $humanize, $gmt, $date, $time ) {
$date = get_post_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $gmt, $reply_id, $translate = true );
$result = sprintf( _x( '%1$s at %2$s', 'date at time', 'bbpress' ), $date, $time );
return $result;
}
You should have your translations in /wp-content/languages/bbpress/
not in the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages/
folder.
See this for further information, also if your translations are at 100% for your language there is a very high chance you will now get this automatically updated when new translations are added/corrected etc.
https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/
Updating to 2.5 erased the translation of the forum. Is that normal?
So you should save the translation before updating and then upload it again?

For our english friends :
Hello
I’m trying to do it as fast as I can 🙂
I saw that you have entered some translations too.
Have a nice day!
Hi! finally I discovered what was the problem!
The incidence is closed!
🙂
Hi,
I’ve installed bbPress 2.4.1 and I’ve the language files on:
wp-content/languages/plugins
bbpress-es_ES.mo
bbpress-es_ES.po
I’ve also the correct configuration at wp-config.php:
define(‘WPLANG’, ‘es_ES’);
The problem is that bbPress is showing the messages in english and not in spanish as I want.
What I’m doing wrong?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Javier

Hello,
As part of a project for a forum in French which will be online soon, I completed the translation in French of bbPress and I improved (at least I hope) many strings already translated so that they are more true to the original english meaning and context.
I’m entering the translations one by one on translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.4.x/fr/default and I would like to discuss with the french translation team about a number of aspects of the project, eg nomenclature, accents, etc.
Thank you and good day.
Dear All, I’m new here, and this may be a wrong topic.
But I have installed bbpress 2.4.1 and WP version 3.7.1
After installation I can’t open the bb-press settings, because it says:
Je hebt onvoldoende rechten voor toegang van deze pagina. (dutch language)
translation: You don’t have permissions to access this page.
But i’m administrator! What should i do?
Your prompt response will be appreciated.
Thxs!
Hi, i have two title pages with no translation:
forums/view/most-replies/ it show title page –> Topics with most replies
forums/view/latest-topics/ it show title page –> Latest topics
I nedd to translate but this two elements do not exist in original file bbpress.pot
Can you see if bbpress.pot contain this two elements or is true wich do not exist?
Thanks…

@stephen, thanks for your comment! I have solved the problem! I have doenlaod the translations .po and .mo from the /dev branch and upload those 2 files to wp-content/bbpress/languages/ and rename the files to bbpress-nl_NL.po
& bbpress-nl_NL.mo
Dutch (nl) is at 98% in the /dev branch
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev
Dutch (nl) is at 0% in the /2.4.x branch
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.4.x
Dutch (nl) is at 100% in the /2.3.x branch
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.3.x
Most likely you have downloaded the 2.4.x branch as noted above as it is at 0% as there are translations waiting for approval.
Download the .po & .mo from the /dev branch
Rename and upload both bbpress-nl.po
& bbpress-nl.mo
to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/

Thanks for your time. My dashboard language is Dutch. My wp-config is already set to define (‘WPLANG’, ‘nl_NL’);
I am using bbpress 2.4.1 I have downloaded the translation for bbpress 2.3.x and put the .po file in wp-content/languages/bbpress and rename it to bbpress-nl_NL.mo.
Anonymous User 9588477Inactive
@Maartje_1992, how did you use the 2.3.x translation for 2.4.1? I am also a dutch guy and i want my bbpress 2.4.1 in the Dutch langage. I have uploaded the .po file to wp-content/languages/bbpress. I have renamed the extension .po to .mo, but is doens’t working.
It took a little longer than usual for the 2.4.x branch to go up:
If you find some obvious translations missing in the 2.3.x branch try the /dev branch as this is also ‘typically’ updated for most languages and you could also install the Dutch translations from there.
