BuddyPress.org

We have just set up a multisite with BuddyPress and have each sub-site as the different languages. At present we just have French and English but the there will be more to come. (See it in action at http://artgrove.com/)

Enable WordPress in network directory mode. You will create a site for each language required. In the settings for each site you can choose a language.

For BuddyPress to work in this environment, you need to add the following line to wp-config:

define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true);

This makes the same single BuddyPress run across the whole wordpress network.

We also used Multilingual press (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multilingual-press/) to help with the switching between languages and for syncing translated content.

The Codestyling Localization plugin is also very useful for translating plugins, themes and core components into target languages (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/).

Of course BuddyPress user generated content will always be in the language they input in. So as pointed out above, you may wish to set up groups/forums that are targeted to specifc languages.

Hi andaluzo…

Got it working?

Please allow me to ask..
I would to accomplish this:

We need Buddypress to share user account data between few subdomains.

My setup would be:
Fr.mydomain.com
En.mydomain.com
De.mydomsin.com

What I need is:
-One wp multisite installation
-Same user database / accounts, so user can access al subdomains with one account
-Other buddypress language for each subdomain

That’s exact.y what you are building, right?

Any help to get me started would be highly appreciated!
Can you please tell me which steps to take in which order?

Thanks a bunch..
Bas
