Glad you got it!

Although you didn’t hook it into the activity filter yet.

as I remember it was something in the function class:

`function filter_gettext($translation, $text`

I adapted it a little, to display a link to the category the post is in (assuming one category, and category slug of ‘category’) :

`class PJW_Translation_Mangler {

function filter_gettext($translation, $text, $domain) {
global $post;
$category = get_the_category($post->ID);
$cat_slug = $category[0]->slug;
$category = $category[0]->cat_name;
$translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
if ( $text == ‘%s wrote a new blog post: %s’ ) {
return $translations->translate( ‘%s wrote a new post: %s, in ‘.$category.’‘);
}
return $translation;
}
}
add_filter(‘gettext’, array(‘PJW_Translation_Mangler’, ‘filter_gettext’), 10, 4);`

Hello to all.
Finally greek translation is still shared? If yes, where can we find it?

Thanks

For this text string, you can use Westi’s method at http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2010/01/02/mangling-strings-for-fun-and-profit/

You can add the following code in your theme’s functions.php

`<?php

/* http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2010/01/02/mangling-strings-for-fun-and-profit/ */

class PJW_Translation_Mangler {

function filter_gettext($translation, $text, $domain) {
$translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
if ( $text == ‘%s wrote a new blog post: %s’ ) {
return $translations->translate( ‘%s wrote: %s’ );
}
return $translation;
}
}
add_filter(‘gettext’, array(‘PJW_Translation_Mangler’, ‘filter_gettext’), 10, 4);

?>
`

1. Recommended steps
a. Install WordPress
b. Create a network (i.e. multisite) https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network,
c. Resolve any multsite issues first https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/ at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite
d. then install BuddyPress https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/

2. Portugese, doesn’t look to have much support
WordPress – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language
BuddyPress – no Portugese submitted at https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/translations/

you can download some version of translation on the buddypress i18n trac:
https://i18n.trac.buddypress.org/browser
or on the buddypress trac:
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser?order=name#tags
there are only 3 strings diffs between 1.2.7 and 1.2.8 pot, so it’s not very important at this time if you miss something

If you want to work with pot files, you have to pick in the tagged version, not in the trunk (except for your private tests of course)

Looks like it’s using strings from the currently-in-development BP 1.3

Ping @boonebgorges.

This thread is over 9 months old.
The codex instructions have been updated since then to better reflect the changes made to BP 1.2.7.

Putting the language file in /wp-content/languages/ is preferred because when you upgrade BP, your changes won’t be wiped out!

You have to make sure your generated .mo file is valid. I’d suggest recreating your translation files from scratch. Make very tiny changes then upload it to /wp-content/languages and check to see if your alterations stick. If they stick, keep on editing and then regenerate your translation files.

Also make sure your locale is correct.

To do a quick check, put “ in a template file somewhere and refresh the page to see.

I just tested this to confirm and it works fine; I did not try this on WP 3.1 in Multisite mode though.

Well you could replace
`
case “Who’s Online Avatars”:
return $translations->translate( “Who’s Online…” );
break;
`
for
`
case “Join Group”:
return $translations->translate( “Follow” );
break;
`
in the example in the link
but as join appears quite a lot of times in buddypress, in different combinations, it might be better just to add your own language file….

@kenrichman

Have you tried?
`
case “Friends (%d)“:
return $translations->translate( “Mates (%d)” );
break;
`
Also. I have just discovered from the buddypress codex that the friends slug can be changed to match to your choice…
`
define ( ‘BP_FRIENDS_SLUG’, ‘peeps’ );
`
It goes in the wp-config.php file

“and when I put the part of (what part of?) I lost language files without login and when I try to log it makes
nothing. “

Something’s getting lost in translation. Do rephrase your question.

@Boone Gorges Great, if you need translators, i can provide RU translation

I think I may have just found a way – I saved the following as a plugin myself and it works. So If you change the Case text for your own it may help – I run single site so i can’t try it out…

I would like to know if there’s anything wrong with using this technique in buddypress?

There’s something getting lost in translation. Could you rephrase your question?

Does this link help you?

‘WP Symposium’ may be closer than we thought

Looks like ‘WP Symposium’ is due to be an alternative to Buddy Press. But it looks a long way from being ready. Will have to hope that Transposh version 0.7.0 works and move away from Buddy Press before the site gets too many users. If Multi Language remains an issue.

Something’s getting lost in translation. Do you mean that you have three registered members but they are not listed in members page?
