Hello !
I updated bbpress to version 2.6.1 and noticed that several words were not translated anymore (I own a french website), especially in freshness :

I used to edit those translation with a plugin called “Loco Translate”.
So I went and checked if those words (ago, months, months, day, days, etc.) were still correctly translated in french version, and they are.

So, is there an issue with translation since 2.6.x release with the freshness labels ?
Can you help ?

Best regards

this is because 2.6 has changed some wording and context, and the new translations have not been made yet

to fix the above either use this

add_filter(  'gettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate', 20 , 3  );
add_filter(  'ngettext',  'rew_bbpress_translate' , 20 , 3 );

function rew_bbpress_translate( $translated, $text, $domain ) {
	if ($domain == 'bbpress') {
     $words = array(
                        
                        '%s day' => '%s jour',
						'%s days' => '%s jours',
						'Last Post' => 'Dernier message',
             );
     $translated = str_replace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
	}
     return $translated;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

or use the translations tab in my style pack plugin

Thank you Robin !
I saw your translation tab today and was thinking to giving it a try (thank you for the plugin by the way 👍).

Edit : I tried it like this, but it doesn’t solve the issue :

Is there anything else to do than translating it here and saving that settings ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

it needs to be

%s day and %s jour

etc.

The % is then replaced in live

[@maksanse Participant 5 years, 1 month ago]

Ok.
I couldn’t make it work with dates… Anyway, translation should arrive soon, right ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

I’ve looked further at the code, and yes my translation won’t work for time.

I am just a bbpress user who helps out on this forum, so I cannot say when the devs will complete the translations.

Ok, thank you for your help 👍

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

ok, in 4.3.6 freshness tab, I have added translations

[@maksanse Participant 5 years, 1 month ago]

Yeah ! It works 👍
Thank you ! You rock !

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

great – glad you are fixed

@maksanse
Translation of bbPress 2.6.x is being updated. Hopefully by next weekend all is done.

[@maksanse Participant 5 years, 1 month ago]

Great ! Thank you for the information

[@alysko Participant 5 years, 1 month ago]

I note that problem too. Thanks for the information.

@casiepa, is your bbp Toolkit still useful?

[@casiepa Moderator 5 years, 1 month ago]

@maksansem @BenM :
Success: Language pack for fr_FR generated for version 2.6.2.

For bbPress Toolkit, well more stuff is now inside 2.6 so I would need to check what is still really needed.

After last main update I still have problems with translations: some words in italian, and some words in english.

How can I solve the issue? Or do I have just to wait for an update again?

[@matthias70 Participant 4 years, 9 months ago]

Same problem here. I have the right translation in my .mo-files, but still the english translation is shown in the freshness part for year, month, day, hour…
Any suggestions?

@robin-w I can translate it with your style plugin, but it is way to big to install for just translating these few words…

Thanks
Matthias

[@maudoune01 Participant 4 years, 9 months ago]

How can I translate the words : profil, login, register, log out, …?
Thank you for your help.
