Hi Marc,
I didn’t try any of them, but these are some possibilities:
1) installing bbPress on the us_US and then downloading the nl_NL bbPress translations and adding them in the bbPress folder (https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/)
OR
2) Go MU and have the main site in us_US and create a subsite in nl_NL
Pascal.
Hi,
bbPress translation files comes automatically and the ‘search’ button is in the translated list:
value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', 'bbpress' ); ?>"
But I see you also have ‘topics’, ‘posts’ and ‘freshness’, so nothing is translated.
Can you please tell me:
1) in what language locale your WordPress is running in ?
Dashboard > Settings > General Settings > Site Language
2) What version of WordPress and bbPress you are using ?
Pascal.
Found the solution: simply selecting ‘Dutch’ in the Admin > General Settings section instead of ‘Dutch (Formal)’ in the field ‘Website Language’ did the trick. After saving and refreshing the website, the forum shows the Dutch translation.
In any way thanks for your time & attention and willingness to help!
Kind regards, blux78
Goeie morgen,
Can you point me to the page where you found that procedure ? Translation should come automatically when it reaches 100%, there should be no need to install the translation manually!
I must however inform you that only the informal dutch is at 100%, not the formal dutch ! So help will be needed to get that one translated.
Let me know how you want to proceed.
Alvast bedankt,
Pascal.
Hi all,
I’m working on a website (being hosted locally for now) which should have a forum translated to Dutch. I’m following all the necessary steps to my knowledge, have downloaded the stable, 100% completed language files, uploaded them to the correct folder as mentioned on this site, but the translation isn’t kicking in.
Under Settings in our WordPress Admin panel we have set the language to Dutch (Formal), I read that this isn’t desired because the translation for the forum might not kick in? Should I use the other route instead, adding a line in the wp-config file, pointing to accompanying translation files?
WP version is 4.4.2
bbPress version is 2.5.8.
I hope some of you may recognize the problems I’m having and can steer me in the right direction. Thank you in advance for your time and help!
Kind regards, Blux78
Hello Pascal. I install the bbPress toolkit and the plugin concept is good, but I found issues I’d like to report.
1) The feature “Replace text Oh bother! No topics were found here!…” is not working. I wonder if the issue is because I am using pt_BR translation. I can see the same message (in portuguese), and my alternative text never show up.
NOTE: “Completely remove message and box for empty forum…” is working fine.
2) Display featured image in front of forum name, image width: 50px does not show any image. I see the featured image option in forum page, I loaded a icon-like image but no result.
3) I also have problems with some features from bbp Style Pack… Maybe a theme incompatibility? My theme is a premium one, to be honest with a good quality so it’s weird. I do not expect this kind of bug, I believe is something related with my site.
WP version 4.4.2
Theme Betheme 11.9
PHP version 5.6.18
bbPress version 2.5.8-5815

Hi,
So you have bbPress translated into CZ if I understand correctly ?
If so, would you mind helping with the translation for the whole CZ community ? https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/cs/default/wp-plugins/bbpress
If you are interested, I can guide you on becoming PTE for bbPress, let me know. Then you can import you .po file and everybody can have bbPress in CZ then !
Thanks,
Pascal.
@robin-w: thank you for your reply. I’m sure it could work. However using this solution forces me to create a function for every language I add.
@casiepa: Goeiemorgen, daar zijn we weer! Thanks for helping out. I have achieved a lot of what I want but the breadcrumbs remains. (for reference, see this topic on WPML: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/multiple-site-languages-but-just-a-bbpress-forum-in-english/).
As a result of this thread I have an English forum AND a Dutch page displaying the forum with a shortcode with only one set of topics. Exactly what I want.
For the breadcrumbs I tried to create a solution with an onclick event and then navigate back in the history but that is not reliable. When a user is entering a topic from, let’s say a google search result page and then clicking the breadcrumb link they are send back to the google page.
I imagine something like this:
The English page for the forum has the slug: supportforum (for example)
The Dutch page for the forum has the slug: helpforum (for example)
On the forum index page no breadcrumbs are needed.
On the topics page I only want a link back to the forum index for the appropriate language.
So the ‘solution’ must not link back to the forum slug but to the page where the index lives.
I have absolutely no idea how to achieve this.
The outputted link has to be something like this:
http://www.my-site.com/forumpage-slug/
For the other languages:
http://www.my-site.com/language-code/localized-forumpage-slug
In my case English is the default language and Dutch is the translation.
The urls should be:
http://www.my-site.com/supportforum/ -> for the default English language.
and
http://www.my-site.com/nl/helpforum -> for the Dutch language forum page.
and
same way for every other language added.
I hope this description make sense.

Yeah, well, I realized myself only some minutes ago that my reasoning was wrong. Of course only stable gets ‘downloaded’. That’s how it goes.
If you have 2.6 alpha installed and you want to use the latest dev translation, you will have to download the po file and put it locally.
Pascal.
I was hoping to see 2.6 in January, but the latest WP broke some stuff that needs in-depth checks and testing. As everybody is a volunteer working on this project, no official dates can be set.
If you translated dev (which is the 2.6 in the ‘trunk), the translation is moved to ‘stable’ whenever 2.6 is set as a ‘stable’ version. So you only need to do the work once.
I will have a check later why the new German version is not being pushed !
Pascal.
Hi,
we are just discussing this in Slack. I only translated dev, but not stable. And honestly, I see no point in manually copying every new and changed string from dev to stable, as was suggested there. This could take hours again, only to be obsolete soon.
So, when is bbpress 2.6 due? Is this correct, that then the dev translations become the new stable?
Manuel
Hi,
in the Codex, it says that the automatic loading of locales should begin when they are at 100%. However, the German locale has not been updated in my installation since three days, that is the current date of the files in my webspace. Even though I approved strings in Glotpress every day since then.
Do you know if there is some “push” mechanism? Because WP-Members always gets updated at night (UTC) after I edited some strings. Or maybe bbpress needs to pull translations, but it does not do so, sufficiently?
~Manuel
Hi,
All translations are now centrally managed. Danish seems to be at 92% for the stable version.
Anybody can contribute to the translation (https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/da/default/wp-plugins/bbpress)
When it reaches 100%, you can get in touch with a Global Translator Editor for the Danish locale to see how to continue.
Pascal.
Hey,
I just tried to get the danish translation for BBPress and found out the website you refer to aint working anymore.. and it have been like this for some days now?
Is it possible anyone have a link where i can get it that aint danieljuhl.dk/wordpress/oversaettelse/ (as it is not working anymore).

Hi,
The current Bulgarian translation still has some strings waiting: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/bg/default/wp-plugins/bbpress
If it reaches 100%, it should come automatically.
Please talk to one of the General Translation Editors on Slack: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/?locale=bg_BG
Pascal.
@let-me-see Awesome, that would be great, I can “officially” make the request though the best option would be if you spoke directly with the German translation team. The best way to do this would be to join the local German Slack team, you can sign up for that here http://dewp.slack.com
(If needed I can also make the request on the #polyglots blog if still needed after that)
Hi Manuel,
All help is appreciated !
To contribute to the translations, you just need to have a WordPress account and you can start translating strings: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/de/default/wp-plugins/bbpress
When there are no strings left to translate, any German GTE could validate the package.
But let me forward your request to the team here anyway.
Pascal.
Hi there,
I would like to help out with the German locale as translation editor. If someone of the developers could please make an official request for that here, as outlined here?
Thanks
Manuel
Hello,
I’m sorry, I do not speak English 🙂
Still, I created a translation for bbPress 2.5.8 and some of its extensions (Ultimate Member – Profile Completeness 1.1.9 and other working). Translation into the Czech language, already tested. Can be add it somewhere?
Plus I found a bug in the Czech translation, which is in the profiles – is possible fix it somewhere?
I’m sorry, but I’m almost blind, so I hard to find answers.
Thank you for your advice.
Mějte se krásně, Vendulka
Strange, can you open bbpress-cs.po in a text editor and confirm that these exist in the .po file:
The original string:
• Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.
The “waiting” string for the “dev” (2.6-alpha) translations
• Vaše přezdívka musí být unikátní a nejde později změnit.
The “waiting” string for the “stable” (2.5.x) translations
• Vaše uživatelské jméno musí být jedinečné, a nelze ho měnit.
I think for Czech the files should be bbpress-cs.mo and bbpress-cs.po
When you export the translations from translate.wordpress.org you should also change a couple of the defaults:
• Make sure the filter Current/waiting/fuzzy + untranslated (All) is showing the waiting translation
• Select the only matching the filter and then click export to export the .po .mo (This way you’ll get the those strings that have not yet been approved)
I run a multisite installation of WordPress 4.4 and bbPress 2.4 installed with the Twenty Twelve theme.
I exported “all current” bbpress-cs_CZ.mo and bbpress-cs_CZ.po files at https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/dev/cs/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=Your+username+must+be+unique%2C+and+cannot+be+changed+later.&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc
The first thing is, that all strings in exported files are in english. I manualy changed the string “Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.” to “Vaše přezdívka musí být unikátní a nejde později změnit.” in the bbpress-cs_CZ.mo and inserted that file via ftp to these folders:
/matia.info/wp-content/languages/bbpress
/matia.info/wp-content/languages/plugins
/matia.info/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/languages
None of them works though. My site is at http://www.objasnujeme.cz/registrace/
There is a string “Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later.” instead of the czech translation.
Might need some help from @netweb since he is part of the polyglots team. I am not that familiar with the translating process yet.
You may need to make a post on the polygots page to notify them that you have a bbPress project translation and where to submit the translations, I am sure they will be able to help.
https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/
You may be able to just contact your team here to see if they can also help you.

You may have to edit the translations here, and just wait for the team to approve the strings.

I’ve seen this page, but I want to send my own file . that file you mentioned is out of dated and with to many wrong translations
