BuddyPress.org

JJJ says: [it was? used for] manual upkeep of translation files. Unclear if it was ever connected to GlotPress directly.

I don’t know what/how things should proceed. My guess is to migrate from that to using GlotPress, but I have no experience in this area. If you want to take a lead in working through these issues — perhaps by starting a discussion on the polyglots blog, https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/ — that would be very helpful.

I didn’t even know http://i18n.trac.BuddyPress.org/ existed. Will talk to JJJ and see if we need it. I believed all the translation to be on GlotPress now.

There are 3 core developers; John James Jacoby, Boone Gorges, and myself. We all read and reply on the forums, but we also have a team of forum moderators who have excellent BuddyPress knowledge: hnla, r-a-y, and mercime. There are many others who regularly help out on the forum. Not everyone knows everything, and if the question is extremely technical or is a “build X feature for me” post, then that person might skip over that forum topic — which is fine.

Stepping outside the forums, we have a lot of contributions from people writing tutorials, talking about BuddyPress at WordCamps and local meet up groups, people writing patches, writing BuddyPress plugins and themes, submitting/managing bug reports and enhancement ideas, writing and improving documentation on the BuddyPress Codex, writing translations, helping other users in real-time in our IRC channel… and there are probably other areas that I’ve overlooked.

Lots of people are involved with BuddyPress. Everyone can be involved with BuddyPress. And someone will get to your question as soon as possible; if no-one does, feel free to post a reply on it to bump it to the top of the list after a couple of days.

Translation is managed by http://wppolyglots.WordPress.com — post there and ask to contribute to the Norwegian translation of BuddyPress. Thanks!

Hi,

what languages are you using ?
what is the weigth of your translation buddypress-xx_XX.mo file ?

Use a language translation file to customize BuddyPress labels, messages, and URL slugs in one go –> https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

1) Change titles using language translation file – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

2)
a) Setup forum without groups ==> Yes. Install Sitewide Forums via dashboard BuddyPress > Forums https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
b) Use Groups as Categories ==> Coming up in BP 1.6 or so per roadmap.

@gggamers something’s getting lost in translation. WP/BP versions? Did you go through the Installation Wizard and choose settings other than default permalink, among others? What theme are you using? Change to bp-default and check if issue is corrected.

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

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….
