I can’t see how bbPress would be any different than wordpress in terms of the mail usage, so:

Emailed passwords not received

Description: When users try to register with your blog or change their passwords by entering their username and email, WordPress says that their password has been emailed to them, but it’s never received.

Reason and Solution: WordPress uses the standard php mail function, which uses sendmail. No account information is needed. This is not generally a problem if you’re using a hosting service, but if you’re using your own box and don’t have an SMTP server, the mail won’t ever send. If you’re using a *NIX box, you should have either postfix or sendmail on your machine; you’ll just need to set them up (google for how-to’s). If you don’t want to go through setting up a complete mail server on you *NIX box you may find ssmtp (http://packages.debian.org/stable/mail/ssmtp) useful – it provides “A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mail hub”. On a Windows machine, try a sendmail emulator like Glob SendMail (http://glob.com.au/sendmail/).

More help can be found on the forums at: https://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=24981

Translation, there are posts in the normal wordpress.org forums as well that even dreamhost for whatever reason doesn’t send the passwords out through sendmail. I would look in the dreamhost support as well, maybe an answer is right there for you to grab

http://bbpress.de is not an official site, and they seem not to be interested in a good localization. The “bbPress Deutschland” makers created a language file a few months ago, but this translation is not complete, it contains a lot of typing mistakes, some terms which are easy to misunderstand for a german reader and some wrong texts too. It hasn’t never been updated.

I love bbPress (and sometimes, I hate it), so I decided to create my own and better translation. I had worked only a few hours on it, and the result is a translation much better than the bbpress.de one.

The existance of a language file is a reason to use bbPress. People should know which translations are existing, and I think, they should know it from an official site. At the moment, there is no “official” german site, but only the bbpress.de. This is a project of “inpsyde”, the makers of wordpress-deutschland.de. A few weeks ago, they tried to deliver a “german WordPress version” with an advertising plugin silently, which was called by some people – me included – as a kind of “plugin spam”. (It wasn’t announced and not marked as an advertisement for the german company LinkLift.) This attempt to create an “official looking german WordPress release with advertising” failed, there was a great resistance from the german WordPress users. This is a strong reason for me not to trust those people anymore. I want the translation to be as free as possible from the early days on.

I miss a forum here which allows bbPress users to announce their bbPress localizations.

Today, I’d done a localization of bbPress 0.8.3 to the German language (that link goes to my german blog posting with a post explaining my “translation philosopy”) which is available for free download now, but there is no good place to announce it. It isn’t exactly an installation issue, not a plugin and (hopefully) not something that causes trouble. At the moment, there is no good place for posting it, not even a “General” forum…

Thanks fel64. Can you give me a starting point on translation files?

And I’m still interested in overriding the filters. Aside from changing the name of a view, I’m thinking of adding a view, or perhaps removing one (e.g. the tags view).

Is this possible?

Thanks.

[fel64]

Translation files are your friend. Exactly as if you were translating to a different language, only all you’re doing is changing the wording.

[Daniel Juhl]

Hi SMU,

Yes, I’ve tried to find the .pot or .po files for the plugins – but I couldn’t.. What I did instead was to make a few more lines in the main translation, and that worked. It’s probably not the right way, but it works for now

Thanks for your time and help!

[smu]

Hi Daniel,

Being relatively new to bbPress I am not sure how to do just that. Have you tried finding the relevant .pot or .po files for the plugins that you have installed? I think you need to have a separate translation file (.mo) for each plugin – similar to WordPress.

Alternatively, there is the hard way. Translate directly in the source code!

[Daniel Juhl]

Hi SMU,

Could you please help me? I’m using your translation, and it’s very great – thanks! But I’ve installed a couple of plugins, and I want the new content to be translated too, but I don’t know how to either edit your file og create a new one, containing the new text-lines.

[chrishajer]

I know of this list of translations, but it does not appear complete to me:

http://www.bbpulp.org/wiki/Translation_files

There is also a Dutch forum at WordPress.org for bbpress:

https://nl.forums.wordpress.org/tags.php?tag=bbpress

I think there have been a couple mentions of a dutch translation in this forum, but I can’t find a link to one right now. Maybe you can search this forum for dutch and contact the posters to see if they’ve ever solved their problem with the translation.

[mbembeausaertagencycom]

Hi,

Does anyone know if a dutch translation is available for bbpress. And if so, where I can i find it ?

thx,

Michel.

[smu]

For the Danish translation see this topic:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/danish-translation

[Daniel Juhl]

I’ve found a great danish translation here on bbPress.org, but now I’ve installed some plugins, and I new a few more texts to the language file.

How do I add new text-lines? I’m new to poEdit.

[smu]

Hi Mikael,

Yes, sorry about that. I am using the WordPress plugin WP-Ban and have blocked a few IP ranges due to previous hacker incidents on one of my websites. Try to download again somewhere else…

[Mikael Boldt]

Last night I spent 4hours in translation my own version of a language file based upon a .pot file linked to via this http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/pot-file-for-bbpress-074?replies=20.

but now I have found an important sentence which was not included. How do I include this sentence in to my .po file?

the sentence is on the profile edit menu:

“To change your password, enter a new password twice below:”

kind regards

Mikael Boldt

[Mikael Boldt]

Tried to upload the danish language file, but failed:

“DU HAR IKKE ADGANG TIL DETTE WEBSITE!

(YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED ACCESS TO THIS WEBSITE!)”

Is it beacause Im not at home in Denmark when trying to download?

kind regards

Mikael Boldt

[smu]

Here is the Danish language file for bbPress 0.8.2.1. It is still in preliminary stage, but I hope that it will help Danish users getting started with bbPress. It added the original .pot file as well, if you would like to do your own translation using poEdit.

Download:

http://www.familietraef.dk/?dl_id=11

Setup:

1) Unzip the files.

2) Upload the da_DK.mo and da_DK.po files to your ‘bb-includes/languages’ folder. (Note: if you do not have it, create the folder)

3) Edit config.php – find define(‘BBLANG’, ”); and change to define(‘BBLANG’, ‘da_DK’);

Enjoy!

[rosebud]

Thanks for the words, both of you.

@ w3creativa:

Actually, the translation I am using is from a bbpress related site. I can’t remember which one though. I’ll try and upload the files if you want them.

@ benbeltran:

Dodecá is indeed from Uruguay.

[w3creativa]

Hi Rosebud, I agree. It looks really well. Very good integration!

I have been looking for the Spanish translation but the one I found does not work for me. Did you translate it yourself? Would you share the files of your translation or could you tell me where did you get them?

Thanks in advance!

[Sam Bauers]

Here are a couple of other reasons why SMF might be faster.

* SMF doesn’t use php-gettext for translation, it uses an array of text that can be replaced. This method approaches the speed of a native gettext implementation.

* bbPress has a lot of functions to register.

* SMF has (auto-detecting) built in support for memcached, eAccelerator, MMCache, AlternativePHP Cache and the Zend Optimiser

* Most (all?) of SMF is written inside PHP, i.e. the HTML is in strings that are echoed out of PHP, this is slightly quicker than dropping in and out of PHP to output to the browser.

* Many bbPress plugins don’t need to load on every page, they could start with some sort of conditional that requests the current bbPress location and then just send a “return” when they aren’t required.

That’s all I can think of after a quick look.

Here is a Korean language file for bbpress. It is just in nascent stage, but I hope it helps Korean users interested in bbpress.

download: http://www.skhcafe.org/dev/Korean_bbpress_070815.zip

1. Upload the ko.mo and ko.po files to bb-includes/languages. (if do not have it, create the folder.)

2. Edit config.php – find define(‘BBLANG’, ”); and change to define(‘BBLANG’, ‘ko’);

That’s it!

비비프레스 한글 번역 화일을 올립니다. 개인적인 포럼 구축에 사용하려고 시도해 본 번역인데, 다듬어야 할 부분이 많습니다. 관심있는 분들이 발전시켜 주면 좋겠군요.

설치 방법

1. 두 화일(ko.po 와 ko.mo)을 다운로드하여 비비프레스의 언어 폴더(bb-includes/languages)에 올립니다. 폴더가 없으면 만들어 주세요.

2. config.php 화일을 열어서 다음과 같이 고쳐줍니다. define(‘BBLANG’, ”); 을 define(‘BBLANG’, ‘ko’); 으로.

Hi,

I have made ja translation based on yours. Thank you!

http://bbpress-ja.googlecode.com/svn/tags/0.8.2.1/

Sorry I didn’t see your bug report until just now.

I am working on this tonight and will have a working version posted soon (including translation hooks for you).

I’ve been having problems to translate bbpress since I integrated the forum with wordpress.

In particular I’m having this error;

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class CachedFileReader in wampwwwwordpressbbpressbb-includesstreams.php on line 163

whenever I try to define a lenguage in config.php -> define(‘BBLANG’, ‘es_ES’);

I was suggested to redirect to wordpress mo file -> define(‘BBLANGDIR’, ‘../wp-includes/languages’);

and then editing this mo file with poedit.

Well, I’ve been messing with poedit but I didn’t change bbpress config.php yet or included any language file for bbpress anywhere.

I went to bbpress control panel to activate the new signature plugin and I find that a line of the menu (and just one line, the rest are still in english) is already translated to spanish, this one;

I admit that I’ve been very busy and I even admit that a was drinking some beers this evening but, what the hell did I do? I can’t rember!. I’ve been unsuccesfully trying to translate bbpress for a month and now bbpress started to translate all by itself?

[_ck_]

mazdakam, try this for better translations?

http://ckon.wordpress.com/files/2007/08/bb-polls.txt?v016

I’ve put ALL the text near the top for easier editing.

@Null, I’m not going to spend too much time “ajax-ing” it.

But I think i can make all the actions happen without reloading the page. I’m going to simply replace the contents in the <div id=poll></div> dynamically. Should be enough to keep everyone happy.

[_ck_]

Sorry, I have to learn how those translation calls work, never used them before.

I wanted to allow the text changes to be made within the admin menu so no external files have to be edited.

ah, found the instructions:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Localizing_WordPress#Localization_Technology

I’ll have 0.16 up shortly with that changed.
