This buggy message is annoying (a synchronizing delay between WP update service and your site), but not important.
At the place where this message appears, you have option button who says “hide this option ?”.
You can use it, or if the button does not appear, wait a few hours or can add this at the end of the file wp-includes/version.php
$wp_local_package = ‘pl_PL’; (will be lost at the next WP update)

I have had the same text “WordPress 3.0.1 is available! Please update now.” appearing on the admin page. Should be a bug, but don’t be affraid of it, your site is updated. View the version number of WP at the bottom right of your admin interface.

pl-PL.po is a translation for the WP part – PAth: wp-content/languages
buddypress-pl_PL.po is the BP translation. – Path: wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages

if you put pl_PL.po in the bp-languages folder, neither WP or BP are translated.

Dear Mark!

I have just installed BuddyPress 1.2.6 along with WordPress 3.0.1, installed translations for both and put `define (‘WPLANG’, ‘pl_PL’);` inside wp-config.php. Everything seems to work fine, even if only the BuddyPress translation is in place.

If you can’t find who it is @markhahnel, ask on http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-polyglots

I think the best solution is to have two separate .mo files with the interface translation and set the translation on wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php (If you havent the file, create one) with the following code
$lang = substr($_SERVER, 0, 2);
switch ($lang){
case ‘en’:
define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘en’ );
if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-en.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-en.mo’ );
}
break;
case ‘es’:
define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘es’ );
if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-es.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-es.mo’ );
}
break;
}
Check that the filenames are the same

This code detects automatically the browser language and defines the language.

Hi Paul, yes my fr_FR translation is working correctly on 1.2.6. You’re probably right with the mo expectation. Something is certainly going wrong somewhere. And polish use some accentuated caracters, i guess.

Maybe a stupid question: has the .mo file added after upgrade the right permission set to 644 on your server ?

Mark, I’ve just tested the translation on a test site. Some of the BuddyPress localisation seems to work, most of it doesn’t. I think the .mo file is incomplete.

Have you contacted the maintainer to ask if it is up-to-date? I’m not sure who looks after Polish. (It might be a silly question, but it’s worth checking).

Hi Mark; they are appearing in English.

Hi Mark, thanks for posting.
Chouf1, are languages working for you in BP 1.2.6?

define wp_lang in wp-config ?
activate lang in wp admin “options” and “settings” ?

Each upgrading of BP is deleting the bp-languages folder content ….
You have to put buddypress-pl_PL.mo into it to have your site in polish again
