BuddyPress.org

Ok i found a few sites that made a bit more sense and i pieced all the bits together.

I downloaded the POT file fomr the bp SVN.

Downloaded a program called POEDIT

Created a new catalog from the PO file

Made my translations

Save the file which created an MO file

Eventually figured out i needed to upload my MO file to the bp-languages DIR in the mu-plugins DIR of WP

Then i opened up bp-core.php and found the line

(`)

if ( file_exists( ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . get_locale(). ‘.mo’ ) )

load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . get_locale() . ‘.mo’ );

(`)

I couldn’t find out anything on get_locale() function that mean’t anything to me so i just removed get_locale() and replaced it with my .mo filename.
