Using v 2.6.1.1
I do NOT have a folder: wp-content/buddypress/languages/
And I DID add the .po and .mo to wp-content/languages/plugins/
I am not using loco translate
Have checked po language files and translation is still there….
I am also using KLEO Sweet Date, even if your theme language files are there, they are probably without translation.
When I opened my language file in poedit all my translation was gone and had to do the translation all over again and upload, then it worked
So open your po. language files and see if your translation is still there
@hisselfandco,
you used the wrong directory for translation.
The directory to use IS NOT wp-content/buddypress/languages/
if you manually upload a po/mo for BP, add it to
wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-xx_XX.mo / po
Thanks for the tip
Using KLEO theme – can see that the language file is still there.
Still having problems with getting buddypress to find the translations….
I dont what theme you use but i found the solution for my problem
The latest update from my theme erased the theme language files which made that the byddypress translation didnt show, I had to translate my theme language file all over again and upload po and mo file and now buddypress is showing again.
Check if you theme language files are still there
Having same problem with Danish language.
Have added both .mo and .po to wp-content/buddypress/languages/ but can’t see the translations…
However, bbpress seems to be getting the translations OK …
Deactivate loco translate and redo what i described previously.
Search also for evtl. issues mentionned on loco translate support.
Aside there is no reason to use that plugin if you don’t translated scecificcally BuddyPress to your nedd. sv_SE.po/mo are loaded automatically.
If despite this, you use your own translation version, see how to prevent your translation to be overidden. It’s explained in one of the sticky topics on the plugin support.
I’m unable to reproduce your issue. WP and BP language update is working properly.
BuddyPress har uppdaterats utan problem.
Guess it is this who genrate now an issue.
I have tried to update the po file with a new mo file but no difference
Po & mo are not the same file, and mo is compiled…
Remove all bp language files from /language/
Deactivate and reactivate BP – this will force BP to reach his translation.
My translation in buddypress stop working after latest update 2.6.1
My language files po and mo are in /wp-content/languages/plugins
The POT file is in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress
I have tried to update the po file with a new mo file but no difference
I use Sweet Date theme and have some plugins as bpchat, bp poke, profiles serach, recent visitors and other, all other translation is working except buddypress and it all worked ok before the last update.
Any solution to this problem?
Hello Buddypress,
today on 23.06.2016 , there was a new update of (version 2.6.0) and here are the translations of notifications, messeges and friends on the tab were in german forgotten. can you please make it?
That was a surprise for me, as yesterday BuddyPress ru_RU was 100% translated by me – both dev and stable.
I re-imported translations, so now everything is 100%.
Добрый день @valery-kondakoff,
no it’s not a regression ! Just a question of delay after BP’s update. Translations are made by volonteers, which are humans, not programmed machines. You have to wait that the translation is completed.
Or you can download the trunk version, which is already completed to 100%.
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/dev/ru/default
At the page bottom you have a download button and a file type selector. Select po and mo format and rename both files to buddypress-ru_RU
BuddyPress share the DB with WordPress (the wp where it is activated).
An association between Polylang and Lingotek could be a good compromise.
If you really want 3 WP, it’s possible for them to use one DB.
Read also the documentation about installing BuddyPress on multisite.
> Which template did you changed?
I changed the theme (thrive social) i’m testing , editing & setting because i want that theme for my site. I set another one i have installed (socialMe) to see if the translation problem in some places of the site persist in this one.
> What do you want to fix if it works now ?
I want to fix the problem in the thrive social template because that will be my main template.
Yo said something like
Apparently there are some missing tabs aside “subir”
. What is that about?
> I just changed the template and the translations works fine.
Which template did you changed ? What do you want to fix if it works now ?
Have you tried with a Twenty theme ?
No dan, i’m not using the child theme, should i?
This problem also happens in others translations arround my site, not only in “subir”.
Badly to me, i have not other template that supports buddypress, but i will try to find one and install it to check that. Thanks for your awesome support.
EDIT: I just changed the template and the translations works fine. So the problem is the template. What do you think i should do to fix it?
Unable to reproduce. It’s working for me. Here’s what i see on my test site.
What i did:
– set site language to español de argentina
– downloaded venezuela’s version of po/mo
– renammed both file to buddypress-es_AR (
– added the file to this directory wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-es_AR.mo
That worked without changing header information, as ID is still “stable”. Sorry, my fault.
Perhaps try to change the theme to see if something get different. Apparently there are some missing tabs aside “subir”. Compare pictures.
Do you use a child-theme where you changed a profile template ?
There are some items that i manually translate in poEdit and the results are fine in my web, but there are others that are well translated in the poEdit, but i can’t see the changes in the web.
For example: As you can see in photo 1, the translation is done. Then i save changes and import as usually, and when i go to my web, the translation is not available as you can see in photo 2. What could be the problem here? Thank you.
In PoEdit > Catalog > Property.
Or open the po with a text editor and check the header. Looks like this:
(that’s the header of the Glotpress version for fr_FR)
# Translation of Stable (latest release) in French (France)
# This file is distributed under the same license as the Stable (latest release) package.
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"PO-Revision-Date: 2016-05-24 17:53:59+0000\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n > 1;\n"
"X-Generator: GlotPress/2.1.0-alpha\n"
"Project-Id-Version: Stable (latest release)\n"
Important things are:
"PO-Revision-Date: 2016-05-24 17:53:59+0000\n"
and
"Project-Id-Version: Stable (latest release)\n"
Id can be text or numeric (ie. stable or 2.5.2).
It doesn’t pop up anything.
By the way, there are some pending translations but when i look for them in the poEdit with Ctrl+F, some of they appear, and i can translate them, but some of them doesn’t appear. How can i translate those pending words?
Thanks.
Site language is the reference. Go to Settings > General and choose your site language.
If you use es_AR, you should use buddypress-es_AR.mo
If you use es_ES, you should use buddypress-es_ES.mo
and so on…
At each update, language files are also updated. This means that if you use bp-es_VE and the site is declared as using es_AR, your bp file will be updated to es_AR and BP will use this one instead bp-es_VE.
It would be better you use same language for site and plugins. What you can do, is to rename es_VE to buddypress-es_AR.po/mo. You need also to modify accordingly the header information in the po file. To do that you need to use poEdit to compile it to mo and get the correct header in it.
Note also that BP translation should be installed in wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-xx_XX.mo
Great, thank you both.
I’ve done all of this:
Languages and Translations
I’ve created the wp-content>languages>buddypress folder and pasted there the buddypress-es_VE.mo and .po.
Now, how can i activate that buddypress languaje from the adminCP.
Note: My wordpress is in es_AR and the buddypress languaje i found is es_VE.
They are pretty much the same language, but the es_AR BP translation is about 5% in the contrib. page so i opted for download the es_VE.
Thank you.
Hi @paulrooms
The Italian translation of BuddyPress is up to date: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/it/default/wp-plugins/buddypress
For the menu items (at least what I think you mean), you’ll need to go into wp-admin > Pages > Edit, and just rename/translate the pages yourself.
I have activated BuddyPress and, since my site is Italian, everything is translated into Italian except for the menu items. How can I get them translated as well? The Italian BP support site says there’s an Italian translation of BP but there’s no place it can be downloaded from.
Any suggestion? Thank you!
