BuddyPress.org

have you tried to put ( for Portugal )
`define (‘WPLANG’, ‘pt_PT’);`
or ( for Brazil )
`define (‘WPLANG’, ‘pt_BR’);`
in wp-config.php ?

Language codes: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language

Where did you download the language files from?

There is no Portugal Portugese in https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/translations/ and the Brazilian Portugese link goes to non relevant advertising in Japanese….

If it doesn’t already exist you need to create a languages folder under wp-content – http://www.example.com/wp-content/languages/

Kudos @aces

What language?

I have just helped someone with Turkish at the end of the following topic: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/localization/forum/topic/turkish-language-pack-issue/

== And this is a forum? no answer ==
Know that 99.9% of those who help out here are volunteers living in different time zones.

Also, something is getting lost in translation. What exactly do you want to do? As far as I can gather from your posts, you want to move the avatar upload page into the user’s profile page, and that you want that page to be presented like the “theme my login plugin” options page? If that’s the case, it would be a rather complicated process and there’ s no plugin for what you want.

It’s really difficult to help as I don’t understand arabic and google translate isn’t much use in this situation.

It’s also unhelpful that there doesn’t seem to be an official arabic translation of buddypress ( or here or here )….

Does it work with bp-default theme?

If it’s the premium theme from http://www.theme-junkie.com/themes/freshlife/ then they might provide support for it on their forum: http://www.theme-junkie.com/forum/

Have you loaded a translation file for WordPress, too?

Who made this translation anyway?

Native translation based on the local language setting would be sweet. So, Geneveve in France posts her comment/post in French, and when it pops in the activity stream anywhere, that French post is automatically translated to the native language. THEN to take it to the next level, let’s say someone is tutoring the language. The tutor should have the ability to enclose the text he/she doesn’t want translated per the language tutoring exercise; thus, only the text that requires translation is automatically translated. If you’re gonna dream, dream big!

Buddypress enables so many possibilities…

Make sure you are using the most recent BuddyPress translation file to do your translation:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.pot

If you need to merge an older translation file with the newer BuddyPress one, read this guide:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/#poedit (scroll down to “Updating your custom language file”)

I would place mo and po in wp-content/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/languages folder

And you’ve got the WP_LANG set correctly, and are also loading a translation for WordPress itself? Is that code snippet in your first post how you’re actually trying this? Which file did you add that to? I don’t think that should be necessary

@tommyhoang use language file to change the text or add this to your functions.php file
`class Tommys_Translation_Mangler {
function filter_gettext($translation, $text, $domain) {
$translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
if ( $text == ‘You will auto join this group when you reply to this topic.’ ) {
return $translations->translate( ‘Feel free to reply.’ );
}
return $translation;
}
}
add_filter(‘gettext’, array(‘Tommys_Translation_Mangler’, ‘filter_gettext’), 10, 4);`

Something’s getting lost in translation. Avatars are the images representing the members of the BuddyPress installation. Albums are photo galleries. What exactly are you asking about? WordPress has forums in different languages, perhaps there is one in your language.
