How can i modify the .mo file ?

[@_ck_ Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

To edit a .mo file you first need to have the .po version of it.

Then you can edit it with POEDIT

If you don’t have any of those things, first get POEDIT

http://www.poedit.net/download.php

If you only have a .mo file and not the .po but wish to add/edit the translations, you can “decompile” or reverse the .mo file into a .po file from the command line with poedit , ie.

START -> RUN

/program files/poedit/bin/msgunfmt ab_AB.mo > ab_AB.po

Thank you, so much !

I’m updating the italian version of the language file,

i found several mistakes and missing translations in that file.

Would you like to have a copy of file with the right words ?

[@_ck_ Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

The svn looks badly out of date for Italian

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/it_IT/tags/

so you if you want to link your results here and state which version it is for we’ll see if Sam or Michael can update the SVN…

Try using this online localization tool

[@alexwilmac Participant 7 years ago]

I use a Mac and I tried the terminal command changing what is need under osx with this

/Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/BBEdit msgunfmt /[here I put my path]/enigma2.mo > [here I put my path]/enigma2.po

It actually tries do perform something but it just creates a zero length file.

Terminal produces the errors I’ll report afterwards: what can I do?
Isn’t there a way to use .po edit directly from its interface to perform the .mo-.po transformation?

@alexwilmac no idea what you are trying to do, but you will need to use a proper tool to manipulate and change .mo files.

If you at just after a coupe of changes easier to use ‘gettext’ in a child theme functions file.

Perhaps come back with some further details

[@alexwilmac Participant 7 years ago]

I’m simply trying to do what’s written in post#2, to perform this online command
/program files/poedit/bin/msgunfmt ab_AB.mo > ab_AB.po

not under Windows but under OsX, instead. This means that the same example under oSx would be

/Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/BBEdit msgunfmt ab_AB.mo > ab_AB.po

Only it produces a zero length file .po and the errors I reported.

[@alexwilmac Participant 7 years ago]

Sorry, I posted a wrong command with BBedit and not Poedit. But the result it’s the same with Poedit.

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

try something web-based – maybe

https://po2mo.net/

[@alexwilmac Participant 7 years ago]

Thanks a lot!

[@alexwilmac Participant 7 years ago]

Actually your link was the opposite I needed (po to mo, but this is not a problem, as Poedit it’s able to produce .mo files from .po
But I found another one that, at least for now, works:

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

great – glad you’re fixed !!

[@casiepa Moderator 6 years, 11 months ago]

Hi @alexwilmac,
Are you trying to update bbPress translation? Because that’s all centrally managed, so better do it there. If you need any help with that, just leave me a message here.
