I’m having troubles setting the language to dutch.
This is what I’ve got.

– define (‘WPLANG’, ‘nl_NL’); in the wp-config.php
– buddypress-nl_NL.mo in the buddypress/bp-languages folder
– nl_NL.mo in the wp-content/languages folder
– Settings in WPMU Options to Dutch.
– Dropdown in the “Settings” menu set to Dutch

Am I missing something?

where is that option Ray, when running WPMU ?

1) Download your BP language files from:
https://i18n.svn.buddypress.org/

Make sure you grab the release that is specific to your BP version

And add them to /wp-content/bp-languages/

2) Add this to your /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file:
define( 'BPLANG', 'YOURLOCALE' );
if ( file_exists( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/bp-languages/buddypress-' . BPLANG . '.mo' ) ) {
load_textdomain( 'buddypress', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/bp-languages/buddypress-' . BPLANG . '.mo' );
}

Just tested it, works for me.

Many thanks Ray for your efforts !

Do you also have a clue on that one ?

Just updated the instructions.

The updated instructions are much easier as you don’t need to download translation files for WordPress.

Re: your other question – You’ll need to download your WordPress language file and add them to /wp-includes/languages/

That’s it!
Thanks a lot Ray!

@Stef78

have you also been able to get the page “domain.com/wp-login.php” translated into your local language ?
I am still struggling to achieve this.

Not all text is set to the right language in wp-login.php. But username/password/register/lostpassword are set automatically.
But in another install I changed what’s left by hand. Works great.
