I first tried to install buddy press on a fairly good running mitilingual (wpml) site. In a test run everything seemed to be ok. Wpml string translations brought up the right things. So i decided to install the thing. I installed and absolutely nothing happened. So i de installed, using the delete instruction inculding the adjustments to all the wp tables. And tried to reinstall after deactivating wpml. And again nothing happened. It didnt even create any table. I am no an illiterate. I know much about Mysql, Php, Ajax, Css etc. But i cant get this monster tamed. Please take me step by step or look into my site. I am ready to throw the whole bdpress and bbpres aside and never touch it again, which is not ok, so please help.
What exactly isn’t working? Please enumerate and be specific.
For example: footer is missing, header is missing, sidebar is missing or on top of the header.,, etc etc etc.
Something’s getting lost in translation and I want the URI to your website (not the theme demo) so that I can see what the problem is, and possibly give the solution sooner rather than later.
Hi there,
I´ve uploaded all translation files in the language folder of the theme and the bp installation. The most buttons in the activity stream are translated but some words over the postings weren´t translated like “…wrote a new post..” “commented on the post,” and so on. Is there a way to translate all words?
I hope you can help me. Thanks!
Quick update,
I have added an extension to Bebop, as well as many other fixes and enhancements. (pagination for one
)/ I will be launching the latest version within the next day; im just waiting for a german language translation to be completed, and am giving everything a good test.
So, I am looking out for more ideas. What extensions do people want to see next? is there a feature that would be nice to have in Bebop? does documentation on obtaining oauth keys/secrets need adding?
If you think of anything, just open a ticket on github
(https://github.com/lncd/bebop).
Thanks,
Dale
@koki_xiong something’s getting lost in translation. use http://translate.google.com/
As far as I can gather, if you cannot access wp-admin after activing BuddyPress, rename your plugins folder in server to e.g. wp-content/plugins-xxx Then after you get into wp-admin, rename plugins-xxx back to wp-content/plugins
To change slugs you change the page name and URL for that page in the WordPress admin. To change all instances of the word you create a language file

@forfurure Across all you posts to date it’s increasingly apparent that there is a real problem in being able to help you, I doubt now that this is really an issue with language translation, as I doubt that in any language translated or otherwise that this title makes any sense.
Please stop and read you posts back before submitting and consider whether they make sense and present questions that we can understand and help with, and as mentioned on technical forums the title must reflect the nature of the problem / issue.
Mr Hugo
I have a problem may lie in the translation of Google Translate, but maybe in the future to understand a little English Language and therefore Sntakty this barrier of communication between us as I would like to thank you all
Lee Pak translating the best of my question .. Regards.

@ashraf something’s getting lost in translation. There’s no bganz plugin in the link you posted and guys above are already rapping.
@ashraf something’s getting lost in translation. Are you asking how to add profile fields (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields) and/or asking for a demo site which allows you to add profile fields (none public that I know of) ?
Thanks shawn, not a spammer but someone making a request for a game ala Facebook. I think something got lost in translation.
Hi, I am still seeking some help to solve this issue. I just haven´t been able to find a solution for this one and the plugin developer isn´t responding to my mails… Anybody?
Thanks!!
Hi,
you changed the wrong file. Never modify a core file when what you need is on the public side ! This means a template of the theme you’re using.
i said “you can search a term in the pot file”, not you must modify the pot file. This file is necessary for translation purpose and has no activity on your site. With a pot file you can generate a po file, and by saving it, you create the compiled mo file. PHP use this mo file at least.
How it works ?
– searching a word: xxx.pot file
– translating/modifying a word: xxx.po file (no T in the extension)
– saving the po file within a po editor sofware like poEdit
– saving the po file will generate a compiled format called .mo file witch must be uploaded on your server via FTP
In your case, the word “groups” you want to modify is used in these files. You will find this piece of code in your po file.

Hi. The translation is already in the plugin´s language folder. The problem is that it wasn´t working, and it didn´t start working is spanish until I moved them to the Wp languages folder (in wp-content). Only then did the spanish translation start working. Even when the spanish is displayed now in the privacy settings, the particular items mentioned are STILL in english..
Any clues?
Thanks!!
Hi. I have installed the Bp-privacy-component to my Buddypress installation in order to give my users some degree of control over their privacy settings. I have translated the pot. file, created a po. and mo. files that I placed in the “languages” folder in my wordpress installation (bp-privacy-es_ES.mo and bp-privacy-es_ES.po for spanish translation). The Privacy settings are now in spanish, but the drop-down menus (list boxes) for the privacy options are still in english, and I just don´t know where to locate the source.
Any tips? Help would be most appreciated.
Best,
Erik.
Ola !
You have 2 translation when running BP. One for WP and one for BP
And many plugins using their own mo file. In this case, the translation is in a “lang” or “languages” folder delivered with the plugin.
The wp translation is called es_ES.mo and is in wp-content/languages/es_ES.mo
The BP mo had to be in this same directory wp-content/languages/buddpress-es_ES.mo
You have also to declare your site language in wp-config.php (define(‘WP_LANG’,’es_ES’) and you have to set this, if not already done, in WP’s settings.
If all this is correctly made, all WP/BP strings should be in spanish. If despite correct settings, you have strings in english, it’s probably because you’re using a theme or a plugin with uninternationalized strings.
The template pack has nothing to do with your problem. bp-template-pack is a kind of guide to help you modify/upset non BP compatible themes. The plugin doesn’t need to be in spanish.
To find exactly where your untranslatable strings are, i suggest you to open buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.pot and look above the word in english, the file name where the word is used. So simple as that ! 
EDIT: the concerned file is bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/settings/delete-account.php
If you use a custom theme for your install, you have to use the same path:
your_theme/members/single/settings/delete-account.php
In this file, you must have this line 54:
`
`
You can see this recurring phenomenon here for example, under the “Join Group” button: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-default/forum/topic/wireframes-collection-2/
This bug was discussed several times on this forum in the past. The lattest here:
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/ago-ago-1/
I presume `%s ago` is generated by the wordpress function human_time_diff
On the WP Codex : http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/human_time_diff
it seems that the word “ago” is included in the expression, so it has not to appear elsewhere.
A single $s is enought, it’s at least what i did in my translations.
make google chase your content and not the other way around: Translation: build your content for users and not for search engines. there are gazillion of web sites and communities out there that spreads rumors and myths about search rankings or SEO… some even go to the extreme that they brand seo as a science where in the reality is that SEO is just an abstraction. more often than not those ‘seo people’are not even children/enthusiast of the web but rather people/marketers who are just interested on other people’s money to earn a profit and im sick of them.
Hello,
there is probably an error in the WP’s spanish translation. Or you use a plugin witch have an old version of tyniMCE.
Are your language settings correct ? View in wp-content and in the dashboard.
Are your plugins compatible with WP 3.4.1 and BP 1.5/1.6 ?
Debug by deactivating them exept BP and use bp-default theme during the tests.
If you find nothing, you have to search in plugins languages .po file with a text editor like notepad+ and track all special caracters and all html tags you will find in it. Sometimes > or < are forgotten by translators…
Begin pehaps by Achievements as you mentionned it in relation with profiles…
You can also try to reactivate the old BP admin bar to see if that you have the same error.
Put this in a bp-custom.php file into your plugins folder:
`add_filter( ‘bp_use_wp_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );`
I am using WP MS 3.4.1. and BP 1.6.1
Lately created a new site and was expecting that BuddyPress is listing the site/blog under “my sites/blogs” (I use the German translation, so I am not sure about the name here, div id=”blogs-dir-list”). But it is not showing up. I thought maybe I need to post anything. Did that but still not showing up. BuddyPress lists all other websites of the WP MS installation, except the newst one.
Because I am the admin of all sites, the user is always the same on all sites.
I am not sure if its a bug or if I missed anything, so I thought I ask here first.
Thanks and cheers, Alex
PS:
> I am running BP on a subsite not the main site of the WP MS installation
> Also realized, that BuddyPress is not updating the Blog Name when adjusted in the network dashboard! Is that info not supposed to be dynamic – like up-to-date?
For translations – you need to work with language files (I assume welcome pack supports these @djpaul).
