Wordpress version: 4.5.3

Hi,

Pleased I’m stuck with this. I have my WordPress installed in es_ES, I have translated the Zippy Courses theme without problems and now I am trying to translate the bbpress pluging by copying the es_ES.mo file into the languages folder and it doesn’t work. The plugin is not getting translated.

I have tried to do it using the plugin “Codestyling localization” and I get this message:

Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that.

Any hints?

Thanks for your help!

WP version 4.5.3
Theme Zippy Courses Theme 1.0.4
PHP version 5.5.32
bbPress version 2.5.10-6063

Hi again,

I got the plugin translated to es_ES by updating language files in WP and it worked partially, as some strings appear in english even if they are translated in the .mo file.

For instance:
Topic Voices Posts Freshness

Does anyone have the same problem? Thanks a lot!!

This is strange, bbPress is 100% translated into Spanish

https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/es/default/wp-plugins/bbpress

Here are the strings with voice, so they should work

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=Voices&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

Can you try removing any .po/.mo files from the languages folder that you mentioned in your original post please?

Thanks for your help!

I have deleted .po/.mo files so the plugin is untranslated:

Then, I have updated translations automatically through wordpress and this is the result:

The strings I indicated before remain untranslated, as well as the form strings in the screenshot. You can see some strings are translated an some are not. I know the language file contains all the translations but somehow the plugin insn’t finding them all.

I have no ideas…

Thanks for the screenshots, they are a big help 🙂

The “before” screenshot has lots of untranslated strings, Topic, Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2, Participant, Edit, Move etc etc

Wheres most of the above are now translated in your “after” screenshot, I see 4 strings untranslated though: Reply to, Notify me of follow-up replies via email, Tags: and Submit

Those 4 strings all appear to be translated correctly, e.g https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress/stable/es/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=93987&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=3551506

p.s. Spam isn’t translated, Spam appears to be Spam in any language 😉

I’ll dig around some more and see what I can find

I just setup a new site with WP 4.5.3 and bbPress 2.5.10 es_ES

Everything is translated for me: https://cloudup.com/ckbF2DGSPEl

Does the theme you are using include custom bbPress templates?

It looks like there might be an issue with the file form-reply.php

The file can be found in: templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

It should match: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.10/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

Can you check the above for me please?

[@pleyades38 Participant 8 years, 4 months ago]

I appreciate your help, thanks!

I have compared the files and they match. I can see it is working in your installation so I think there might be a problem with Zippy courses integration. They say in their documentation that their theme/plugin integrates with bbpress. I am writing them and I tell you.

[@netweb Keymaster 8 years, 4 months ago]

You might also be able to look yourself. In the zippy theme directory, e.g. wp-content/themes/zippy you might find a bbpress folder with some bbPress templates located inside, if that is the case then maybe the Zippy version of form-reply.php is out of date.

[@pleyades38 Participant 8 years, 4 months ago]

Problem solved! I have contacted Zippy courses, it was the theme translation. The theme overrides bbpress plugin translations so it must be translated itself.

I have updated the theme translation files and it works.

Thanks a lot!!

Awesome, glad you’re sorted…

Now I’ve just got to finish getting https://es.wordpress.org/support/ 100% translated 🙂
