BuddyPress.org

You can add this to wp-config.php:

`define( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘conversations’ );`

That will change the slug. To change the actual text that is rendered on the page, check out the “Custom Groups Name” plugin at http://hardlyneutral.com/wordpress-plugins/

…and if you are feeling adventurous, go ahead and start editing your translation files!

About .pot, .po, and .mo Translation Files in BuddyPress

Languages and Translations

Change slug of Friends – create a new Page named, e.g. Amigos, and the new URL will be http://yoursite.com/members/pauljr670/amigos/ instead of http://yoursite.com/members/pauljr670/friends/

Use language translation file to change all instances of friends in theme https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

You would have to add some filters (or a language translation .mo file) to change the text used to create activity items. Do you know enough PHP to do this if we can find out what filters you’d need to use?

Croatian?
If so, the file name is wrong. It should be “buddypress-hr.mo” etc

Languages and Translations

Sure, you can change those by creating a language translation file https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

To change the Members label throughout the site, you need to create/use a language translation file https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

== Is there a way to make the change from “Groups” to “Leagues” happen everywhere? ==

Yes. Use language translation file as in https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

You’re either going to have to do a find/replace in your theme, or use a language file to achieve the same; https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/.

@40cooper – the best way to modify text is via a translation file

I know the “Reply” button, but what “Quote” and “Complaint” buttons do you want? Something is getting lost in translation somewhere. Could you be more specific?

BuddyPress/WordPress versions?
What theme are you using?
What plugins do you have installed?
In what pages are the quotes and complaint buttons supposed to be seen?

No, set WPLANG to ‘el’, just like if you weren’t using BuddyPress. You can’t define WPLANG twice, it won’t work. You’ll need a WordPress translation loaded, as well as a BuddyPress one.

You don’t need to do the whole translation – just the word(s) etc, that you want. It is also used in a slug so that would need to be dealt with….

Another way is linked to in the above note but ‘friend’, and variations of it, appear in lots of places so translation might be better ….

Poedit does make the task easier and you don’t lose the language ‘edits’ when buddypress is upgraded….

The buddypress admin menu is translated as are the main tabs, ‘Componentes’ page content is translated but ‘Configurações’ page content is still in english.

The parts that aren’t buddypress aren’t translated for me, as I don’t have the main wordpress and theme or plugin language files installed

Yes!

But it is still incomplete ….

== mysite.com/members….but there is no longer a tab or link to it from the profiles ==

What theme were/are you using? There’s something getting lost in translation and we’re speaking in the same language.

@Guga123

I just double checked and I had made an error when I renamed the language files.

I used:

buddypress-pt_BR.po
buddypress-pt_BR.mo

and:

`define (‘WPLANG’, ‘pt_BR’);`

then it worked for me ( although the actual buddypress translation is not complete ) …..

I think that there may be something wrong with the downloaded translations files…

Following the same procedure with the pt_PT files does change some of the language whearas the pt_BR file doesn’t seem to change anything….

I don’t know where the fault is. It seems that the place you downloaded from might only be the bp 1.2.* version. but it’s not clear….
