I have download the correct .MO and .PO files for Portuguese Language, but I can’t figure out how to get it working!

Where should the files be uploaded to?

Any help?

Just updated to 2.1.1 – «Topic Description» is still not in the pot-File…

I don’t see ‘Topic Description’ as a string anywhere in 2.1.1.

There is now a screenshot for you on my server:

Try «Forum Description» (Ref: here & here)

[HansRuedi]

Oh sh… I’m using bbpress 2.1.1 with Skeleton Theme

That «Topic Description» (NOT «Forum Description») is part of form-topic.php of that theme (Line 82)!…

Instructions for Installing bbPress in your language are now on the codex.

[David Decker]

@HansRuedi Keller:
These strings are from the template files for bbPress that this theme as bundled – so you need to contact the theme author that he updates his stuff – obviously he has not updated to 2.1+ compatibility yet.

You can also update this yourself:
1st alternative: delete the packaged bbPress template files from the theme and use bbPress “Theme Compat” (in bbPress settings)
2nd alternative: edit the template files yourself, use the theme’s textdomain for all strings and make your own translations/language files then.

This should work then.

@netweb:
User @HansRuedi Keller is already aware of this using/installing stuff 🙂

Thanks, Dave 🙂

I had problem getting this working. Here is my solution.

I had old translation files in the plugin directory (/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages/). bbPress was using theses instead of those in the good directory(/wp-content/languages/bbpress/). Remove files from the plugin folder, since the good place to put them is in the language folder(/wp-content/languages/bbpress/).
