@skolbloggense: BP-Slick uses the same BuddyPress translation strings so the theme should just work fine with your Translation. The only thing that is not yet translated is the menu navigation. But that can all be found in one file, which is organized and very easy to edit. I think it will take you about 10 mins to translate it!

I will add po/mo files to the theme pretty soon (to make upgrading easier, so you won’t lose changes) but right now it’s yet added The Theme is now for sale btw.. It can be purchased with 20% discount until the end of the week: http://bp-tricks.com/purchase-bp-slick/.

Here’s the sales page with it’s features: http://bp-tricks.com/pre-order-bp-slick/. And a short video on how to get it running: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMb7tXXV6Rw&feature=player_embedded

@Bowe: Does your theme has the possabillity for translation in a .po file? Its pretty important for me to have the site in Swedish….

Never mind, I figured it out. I re-read the intro and it says that the new .po and .mo files should have the format buddypress-mysite.po so I now changed that and placed all 3 files (.po .mo and bp-custom.php) into the root /plugins/ folder and all is working like a charm.

measure twice, cut once as they say!

I followed those instructions but it’s not clear to me what to put in the bp-custom.php file. Let’s say I name my translation buddypress2.po (and I have the corresponding buddypress2.mo). Where do I put “buddypress2” in the code:
`define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘mysite’ );
if ( file_exists( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );
}
`
Also, am I meant to put buddypres2.po and .mo into the folder /plugins/ or the folder /plugins/buddypress/ ? The article is unclear about that.

Hi, I have a laguage problem with your plug-in.
Whatever I tried (PoEdit, or the codestyling-localization-Plug-in, building a bpxs-de_DE.mo, buildiing a bpxs-de_DE.po) nothing works. It seems that your plugin ignores all translations.
Is this an known issue?

Thanks in advance.

Size of the translation shouldn’t affect anything.

Here are files for translation ( default and fr_FR)

hope it could help

Have a look in the WordPress plugin repository for plugins that let your users switch language. You’ll also find plugins that support translation of page content (as opposed to the standard BP menus / text)

Are you running any translation plugin? i.e. qTranslate?

Sorry missed that slight difference

You just need to make sure the file_exists function line looks for the file in the same directory as the load file line.

You have copied the same example twice and that’s the stock default directory for bp language files.

You want the second example below that one:
`define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘mysite’ );
if ( file_exists( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );
}`
if you want the files in their own directory then do:

/my-language-files/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’

If you re-read the page it does say that you can place the files elsewhere to avoid them being overwritten I just stick em in a new folder kept in /plugins/

Hi @xberserker,
you have it included in bp-cubepoint-core.php
load_textdomain( ‘bp-cubepoint’, dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/languages/bp-cubepoint-‘ . get_locale() . ‘.mo’ );

so just drop translations in the plugins languages folder.

I need a Catholic version of this. How difficult is it to add a translation to this?

Not having ever written a translation, that’s beyond my scope. Have you asked on the WP-Polyglots mailing list? I’m sure this is a common question.

Check this Group – it has lots of threads on localization / translation:
