Hello. I do not want to bother you with basics, however I tied Slovak and French translation and non of them worked.

I did everything according http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ and no translation appears.

I downloaded translation files (po and mo) from http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/2.5.x (bbpress-2.5.x-sk.mo, bbpress-2.5.x-sk.po), I moved the files to /wp-content/languages/bbpress/ and rename it to bbpress-sk-SK.mo and bbpress-sk-SK.po (I also tried names bbpress-sk.mo and bbpress-sk.po).

What I did wrong?

I use WP 3.5.1. with bbpress 2.5.3. I use also polylang module. All translation Slovak, France … works just the translation of bbpress do not.

Just to identify the problem I tried to install your module to WP 3.8 clear installation (with out polyalang) and same result, that translation do not appears.

I believe that it works, since you jut few people ha problem wit translation (http://bbpress.org/forums/search/translation/) but I did everything according manual and it does not work for me.

Thank you.

‘It should work’ on a clean installation, I use a translation for approx half the sites I develop bbPress and it works perfectly. I just tested Slovak and is working as expected 🙂

I found the issue… You need to name the files bbpress-sk_SK.mo and bbpress-sk_SK.po using the _ underscore character not the - hyphen.

I have never tried the ‘Polylang’ plugin and I had a quick look in their support forums but couldn’t find any information if they support bbPress or not, maybe posting a question in their support forums may get an answer from others who have tried and had success or not, at least that way you can find out if Polylang is compatible with bbPress.

And also you module works with polylang. So for all who need Multilanguage forum bbpress and polylang is perfect solution.

Thank you very much. I will make a donation, since your module is perfect and also your help was so prompt.

Hi Stephan,
I found this old post and hope you could still help me. I’m trying to set up bbPress forum in additional language (Polish) using Polylang plugin.
I use WP v. 4.7.1, bbPress v. 2.5.12 and Polylang v. 2.1

As you see in the picture all the English text is not translated.
Any help would be appreciated

cheers
Roman

hello. Sorry, I will not make you happy.
I use the BBpress 2 years ago one and any more, so now I do not any any experiances in bbpress. My problem was just bad name of files with slovak language. WRONG: bbpress-sk-SK.mo . CORRECT: bbpress-sk_SK.mo.
I just did everything according https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/ and repair those files and than was everything OK.
