Re: Custom Language changes not showing
This thread is over 9 months old.
The codex instructions have been updated since then to better reflect the changes made to BP 1.2.7.
Putting the language file in /wp-content/languages/ is preferred because when you upgrade BP, your changes won’t be wiped out!
You have to make sure your generated .mo file is valid. I’d suggest recreating your translation files from scratch. Make very tiny changes then upload it to /wp-content/languages and check to see if your alterations stick. If they stick, keep on editing and then regenerate your translation files.
Also make sure your locale is correct.
To do a quick check, put “ in a template file somewhere and refresh the page to see.

I just tested this to confirm and it works fine; I did not try this on WP 3.1 in Multisite mode though.
