After installing bbPress, my forum was in Spanish (correct). I have changed a couple of labels inside bbpress-es_ES.po

Example:
msgid “Freshness”
msgstr “Último mensaje” to “Último”

After this change, the Forum is in English. I have uploaded the original file bbpress-es_ES.po, clear cache and everything but it still in English.

How to change again to spanish?

Also, if I’m in bbPress forum, also the user bbpress login widget is in english (http://www.ffximobile.es/foro/) but in other pages on my site, it is correctly in spanish (http://www.ffximobile.es/)

I suspect the file is corrupt, so not interpreted.

I’d go back to the original, and then come back for help in changing individual phrases

Ok, I found the problem. I read in this website to create a bbpress folder inside content languages and enter the translated files inside it. I have removed it and now is again in spanish.

So, which file should I change? Should I just change \wp-content\languages\plugins\bbpress-es_ES.po ?

[@robin-w Moderator 5 years, 3 months ago]

yes, try that, and let us know

I changed this in \wp-content\languages\plugins\bbpress-es_ES.po:
msgid “Posts”
msgstr “Publicaciones”

To this:
msgid “Posts”
msgstr “Mensajes”

I cleared cache from WP and cleared Chrome cache, but I still see “Publicaciones” here:
http://www.ffximobile.es/foro/

Try this :

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

Code Snippets

/This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Publicaciones' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Mensajes';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

If that doesn’t work try

/This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Posts' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Mensajes';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

Thanks, i will try but it will take me a bit, as I need to understand/google some things.

Meanwhile, maybe it is easier if it is possible to use an icon instead. Like this:
