Instead of editing the text strings in the core or you theme’s files, you can use a language translation file. It makes life much easier:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

Translation goes throught php gettext module witch use the compiled mo file
Compilation is accomplished by the software (poEdit in your case).

The pot and the po files are “working” files, they are not needed on the server.
The pot contains all translatable strings
The po contains the translatable strings AND the translation
The difference is also in both file header. The pot has a blank summary, the po’s summary has some configuration informations. (path, author name, plural settings and DOM info)

But read here for more detailled information:

Create a .pot or .po File using Poedit

@volvo_owmer something’s getting lost in translation. Not quite clear what you want. What has Cars got to do with the members exactly. Both links lead to non-WP/BP sites and have lots of elements within. Are you looking to hire a developer to create a custom theme and plugins for your site?

one: english by default or yours.
If you need to translate it, read here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/user/translations/

When I Compose a wrong msg and try to it send

@yatendra16 Something may be getting lost in translation. What in the message is wrong?

After it if I am going on other tabs(activity, friends,groups etc.)

Sorry, not quite clear. Do you mean after you see the error message you get redirected to other tabs or do you mean something else?

This error show there for first time

Where does the error show for the first time? Isn’t it after you send the message? Or when you click on the other tabs?

@davep1
What theme are you using? Have you considered that the Log Out button may be a image? If that is the case then translation would not effect the image but of course this is pure speculation.

@buidinh1803
do you have already WP in vietnamese ?
Even if the page seems to be abandonned, read here for some advice about vi_VI po/mo

Home

WP translations are here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp
3.5.x in vietnamese is not translated for the moment, so you probably have to search for previous version. And 3.4 is only 79% translated

No luck too for bp vietnamese translation: nothing !
See here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/1.7.x

So you have to translate BP in your language, (read codex if you don’t know how to do that or search on this forum) then you have to add buddypress-vi_VI.mo into wp-content/languages/ folder

That’s potentially quite a few things maybe going on. So, I’m going to try and strip back to each issue. If you use the default theme with no translation do you get the notification email and status bar?

@walid3
Not sure about the translation but add the code in the link below to bp-custom.php

Something getting messed up, looks to be possibly a translation error? My local test doesn’t show same issue, if you explore further and can establish it’s a bug open a trac ticket.

What a pleasant surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bon après-midi.(Google translation)

Hi @imath, here goes the BuddyDrive translation to Brazilian Portuguese.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32885852/public/buddydrive-pt_BR.zip

Thank you for creating this plugin, it’s being very helpful in my project. =)

Guys, the problem is exactly where @marcio-batista stated.

You can download the fixed pt_BR translation file on my website:

http://tecnotara.com/wp-content/languages/buddypress-pt_BR.mo
http://tecnotara.com/wp-content/languages/buddypress-pt_BR.po

I fixed the translation on GlotPress also, but it’s waiting approval:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev/pt-br/default

Thanks for replying, Marcio.

Pinging @djpaul so he is aware of this as he’s the de-facto translation wrangler!

@marcio-batista – Which translation is causing this problem?

User error mention corrected!
“Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in
…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-notifications.php on line 95”

The problem is that the error is the translation.
1= To check, remove translation of his country.
2= Back BuddyPress original translation.
3=Try a mention again.
4= If it does not error, returns translation of his country.
5= Look at this line in the file. Po translation: “%1$s mentioned you in an update:\n\n\”%2$s\”\n\nTo view and respond to the message, log in and visit: %3$s\n\n———————”
Compare with the translation of his country. Mine was wrong. And now shines BuddyPress!

Greetings to all!

Chouf1, thanks for following me on this topic… Not sure what I’m doing wrong here.. I updated to BP 1.7 stable (I’m also running latest WP), did some tests with notifications and am still get the & amp ; in just the display name of the email (subject is still fine). I reversed the translations that I did in the language files for site name to add & amp ; to no avail… One thing I didn’t try is add a translation to just Name & Name – I’ll try that now.

Regarding your question, I’ve tried to add & amp ; to the site title in general settings and it’s always converted to just &. In the source, it’s output as & amp ;. Not sure how to proceed to fix.. I’ll try the above-

chouf1 – thanks for the info. I added a translation as you suggested (with &), but still have no luck. These emails are being generated by the notification area of buddy press 1.7 beta 1. The name has the & but the subject does not – i.e.:

from email@email.com
subject name & name comes through just fine

So, it’s only happening in the from name, and is not consistent – I assume it’s using the same field as site name?

Thanks, Jon
