I got it working. If anyone happends to have the same question here is my solution:
This solution is for the bbPress Plugin version.
1. Got to “https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/nl/default”.
2. Log in
3. Export the .mo file at the bottom and download it.
4. Place it in the following dir “/wp-content/languages/bbpress/”.
5. Rename is to “bbpress-nl_NL.mo”.
6. Make sure you have filled the correct languages in your wp-config.php: ‘nl_NL’.
If there is an easier way feel free to leave a comment.

Dear community,
I am looking for the dutch translation of the bbPress forum, but I can’t find it.
I have looked in the repository at “http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/”, but there isn’t a nl_NL version.
I know that there is a translation available, because when I look in GlotPress I see that the dutch translation is 100% completed.
See: http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/nl/default.
Can anyone point me to the downloadable .mo or .po files of the dutch translation?
Thanks,
Tobias.
Panda: these are the translation of the forum that are not the same.
Hi,
Im playing around with the latest beta of bbpress and I would like to use a translation made available. Hovewer if I set for instance define(‘BBLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);
after downloading and copying to the right folder the translation files nothing happens. I searched the lastest edition for BBLANG but it isnt even there. What should I do?
Thanks
Hi, I have translated over 70% of CS_cz on my own and I would like to import it to glotpress. Is there any way for me to do it?
“Where can I contribute translations
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/”
I was willing to translate to Spansh, since is my mother language, and I need it. I translated a few things and realised that it didn’t work, they need to be aproved to be downloaded. Then I saw this:
Language % Translated Untranslated Waiting
Spanish (Spain) 0% 0 706 818
Almost everything has been already translated, but is not aproved. I’ve been reading and it might not be perfect, since some words are still in english (for instance Topic instead of “Hilo/Tema”), but it would be great to have access to that translation. There’ll be time for future improvements, I am the first one interested.
So, who’s in charge of it?
Thank you.
PD: I need it for this http://www.opes.es/ new website. I got a translation file but is not completed. I am also looking for a guide to develop a plugin using the rewrite module, since the dynamic tests are now created using ?ID=x …

Hi, an update has been made to fix some bad translations. Regards, François.

John, I went through every line error I could find and noticed that indeed there were some errors in some variables in different parts of the translations.
As far as I can tell there are no errors now. Thanks for the tip on this error.
By the way, how do you mark this thread as “solved”? :-s
It means that the translation isn’t correct and is missing one of the variables needed for the sprintf().
Hi,
You may find the French translation for bbpress-2.0-beta-3b in this article about installing bbPress in French. It will be updated as soon as possible with newer version.
Thanks for this great plugin, it works already quite nicely although it is beta.
Regards, François.
If you insist on doing it this way, then it can be done by generating a .po file that will contain the English translations of the source strings.
There’s an error in the POT file. Look:
http://cl.ly/8ZKP
This is the 2.0-beta-3b, with the translation file 100% translated (the POT of that version).
Of course a translation of the previous version is relevant to a topic discussing a translation of the current version.
@t.sjodren – Your translation is helpful, but not related to this topic. 
Hi
Here is the link to the updated translation:
http://twoway.se/filer/bbPress-sv_SE.zip
@jobjörn I have mailed you the file also.
Note that it is for the 1.3 version and not for the 2.0 plugin version. Please ping me if you convert the translation to 2.0
Maybe there is a easy way to migrate the translation to 2.0. Check with @JohnJamesJacoby
Forgot to add that the lang constant is just as it should be for a plugin, from the general WP config.php: (define (‘WPLANG’, ‘xx_XX’);
No need to set BBLANG anywhere.
We have done a bit of testing with this as it’s a major issue for us.
We’ve got the translators to work on beta1 and understand the logic as follows (based on function load_textdomain()):
1.- translated po (mo) files have to be named bbpress-xx_XX.mo with the xx being the language/country combination as on standart WordPress Codex (ie es_ES) for spanish / Spain
2.- function will look for the file under the plugin directory//bbp-languages and if it’s not there will look for it at the standart WP language dir, normally wp-include/languages but this may vary.
Hope this helps anyone with this issue. Perhaps a TXT file with this info could be included under the bbp-languages folder of the plugin.
Hi panda3000,
mayby you can upload your plugin? The steps are not working for me!
Greetings Dennis
I made a first translation in glotpress for the french… And I wanted to test it on the beta version… I exported a .mo file from glotpress… I put it in the bbp-language folder but this not enough… What else?
Thanks a lot… This looks very promising !!
Best
P.
Are there known issues with translations in bbPress 2.0 beta 3b and WP 3.2 RC2? Got a fully translated language file, but still seeing a lot of untranslated strings. POT/GlotPress not up to date?
/edit found the updated pot. But still, GlotPress is not up to date.
