Hi, I have WP WordPress 5.4 with bbPress 2.8.3.1 and Polylang Pro 2.7 installed.

All the forums, topics, replies, everything are correctly translated, except the user profile.

I even attempted to manually register the slug but didn’t work.

The code I used to try to register the slug was:

/* Translate Users profile slug with Polylang */
add_action( 'after_setup_theme','bbp_polylang_integration' );
function bbp_polylang_integration() {
	if ( function_exists( 'pll_register_string' ) ) {
		pll_register_string( 'slug_users', '_bbp_user_slug', 'URL slugs' );
	}
}

I tried with _bbp_user_slug and with users as well.

'_bbp_user_slug' => 'users', // User profile slug

is definately the slug

so is the context right – maybe ‘polylang’ which seesm to be the default?

and possibly change it’s hook to ‘plugins_loaded’ to make sure bbpress and polylang have both loaded before firing

but i’m guessing 🙂

I tried changing the hook and nothing happened. This is my code now:

/* Translate Users profile slug with Polylang */
add_action( 'plugins_loaded','bbp_polylang_integration' );
function bbp_polylang_integration() {
	if ( function_exists( 'pll_register_string' ) ) {
		pll_register_string( 'slug_users', '_bbp_user_slug', 'URL slugs' );
	}
} 

About this:

so is the context right – maybe ‘Polylang’ which seems to be the default?

I don’t really understand what you mean.

this

Function reference

suggests

pll_register_string($name, $string, $group, $multiline);
‘$name’ => (required) name provided for sorting convenience (ex: ‘myplugin’)
‘$string’ => (required) the string to translate
‘$group’ => (optional) the group in which the string is registered, defaults to ‘polylang’
‘$multiline’ => (optional) if set to true, the translation text field will be multiline, defaults to false

so maybe

pll_register_string( 'slug_users', '_bbp_user_slug', 'polylang' );

Nope, it doesn’t work. This is used only for, like, categorize the strings.
