I think the best solution is to have two separate .mo files with the interface translation and set the translation on wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php (If you havent the file, create one) with the following code
$lang = substr($_SERVER, 0, 2);
switch ($lang){
case ‘en’:
define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘en’ );
if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-en.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-en.mo’ );
}
break;
case ‘es’:
define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘es’ );
if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-es.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-es.mo’ );
}
break;
}
Check that the filenames are the same
This code detects automatically the browser language and defines the language.
