Thanks a few questions if you dont mind… my replies below your pont

********

1. First I opened the POT file, copied it to a .po version, and then made the changes I wanted in a text editor (most with search and replace, but also had to do some new lines by hand).

*******

Yes i have started doing this with poedit and i have now looked at doing this with text editor.. so once i have changed all groups to spots etc ill be ready with the .po and .mo file….

**********

2. I uploaded the .po file to my web server, and ran this from a command line:

*********

where do i upload the .po file to??

msgfmt -o buddypress-spots.mo buddypress-spots.po

**********

What directory to i run this command in.. in the bas root one of the site or in /wp-content/

or /wp-content/mu-plugins/

???

what does this command do exactely

******

4. Then I went into wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages and added the spots.mo file there.

********

did you mean.. “and added the buddypress-spots.mo file there…”

I too think that this is better long term as if each time i update it will nock out my changed files…

QUESTION the things i have defined…

define( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘spots’ );

define( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘spotters’ );

i have already set up in wp-config.php will this clash with what you have said to doo..

thanks so much
