Translation Teams

You don’t need to download GlotPress, you can translate BP online. Just go to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/stable/zh-cn/default and log-in.

And read the translators handbook to learn more about translating WordPress, plugins and themes.

If you prefer to read in chinese, see here: https://cn.wordpress.org/

Please don’t double post! You already asked for this and get an answer here:

The Notifications %s string looks like it is available:
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/tags/2.6.1.1/buddypress.pot

If you’re using a custom translation from a previous version, you need to merge your language files together. Here’s a quick tutorial I found on Google:
http://www.marketpressthemes.com/blog/how-to-merge-two-po-files-using-poedit/

You might also benefit from a translation that is already available here:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress

Re-check your po file and see if the original word hasn’t a count beside it. Something like Members %s. Many translation are omitting this or use an erroneous variable ( something like % or %d or…nothing). In any case, the translation should contain, if exist in the original, such variables.
Same remark if you use plugins or a theme who modify the menu.

You can also check for the new nav API examples you could eventually help you to rename the items, but only if nothing goes to work with translation itself.

@socialc, since 2.6 and the new Nav API, there is a much simplier possibility as the translation file to change nav item names.

@marcono, try this; not sure you learned, below snippet is on Nav API examples i indicated previously. 😉

function bpcodex_rename_group_tabs() {

    if ( ! bp_is_group() ) {
        return;
    }
   
    buddypress()->groups->nav->edit_nav( array( 'name' => __( 'Group Discussion', 'buddypress' ) ), 'forum', bp_current_item() );
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_rename_group_tabs' );

function bpcodex_rename_profile_tabs() {
 
      buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'name' => __( 'My Buddy Forums', 'textdomain' ) ), 'forums' );
      buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'name' => __( 'My Buddy Groups', 'textdomain' ) ), 'groups' );
 
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_rename_profile_tabs' );

@marcono you might want to read this page and consider making a translation file of your own.

The Danish translation is not complete… so the automatic translation doesn’t work.

Read from here to go further:

Languages and Translations

positionning: check CSS pseudo class :before or :after

buddypress.pot: this file does nothing! It contains only the strings you can translate. If you need a translation, you have to create a po and a compiled mo file. To do this you need a tool like poEdit.

Any code placed in bp-custom.php stays untouched after an update. It works like a child-theme.

Hi jangolin
Thanks for your reply – KLEO Theme language files are there…
Problem I have is finding how to make buddypress find the Danish translations .po and .mo I have in wp-content/languages/plugins/
I have no problems with other plugins only buddypress….

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….

@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….

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.

Hello Buddypress,
