I need to translate bbPress user interface to Greek.

I try to find another language file so I can translate it.

I try to find English language file in the language files repository which is in http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/ but I find not such file.. Any ideas?

There’s a good overview of bbPress’ translation framework (with links to existing translations and to useful posts) on bbshowcase.org:

According to that, bbPress uses the same translation approach as WordPress:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#gettext_files

The approach seems to be:

1) You download the POT file, which has all the English strings in it.

2) You translate the strings into your language (Greek) and save the file as a .po file

3) You optimize the .po file into a machine readable .mo file

Looks like you can get the bbPress POT file for whichever version you’re using here:

Good luck!

If someone already started any translation and reads this .. well, reply to this so we can talk.

if you use poedit it generate automatically .mo when you save the .po

i use it to translate bbpress, wpmu and buddypress

Hi all,

is there a greek version of bbPress available now, or do I have to follow the above procedure?

Thanks

This is the best source of information I know of, and I don’t see a greek translation here:
