BuddyPress.org

@shanebp and @danbp thank you for the replies on this. I did my change of this using Codestyling Localization. That didn’t work (it worked everywhere but in the subnav). Then I manually created po/mo files and it also worked everywhere but in the subnav. When I did that translation, I created the po using an online po edit (I don’t remember which one, and it certainly didn’t say anything about source keywords).

I’ve now installed a copy of PoEdit on my pc and am working through the file now, with the keyword information mentioned in the link above.

I have a couple additional question though, because I’ve found conflicting information on the internet and following the instructions from the BP documentation doesn’t seem to work right.

The buddypress-en_US.po and buddpress-en_US.mo files need to be in which folder?

The documentation says to put them in /wp-content/languages/plugins/ however, sources I’ve seen elsewhere say to put them in /wp-content/languages/ – currently neither of them work for me, but I’m starting this translation from scratch now and I want to get it right.

Also, does the language define statement in wp-config.php need to be set for this to work? Keep in mind that I’m not doing a full on translation, just this BuddyPress translation to change Friends to Connections.
