If you translate the default theme, that’s all you do – you don’t have to change any of the images *unless you want to*. Good luck!

It may be so that the translation functions for these strings are missing in your releases. You should update to WPMU 2.8.1 (or 2.8.2) and BP 1.0.3 anyways.

WPMU translation files should reside in:

wp-content/languages/

and BP translation files should reside in:

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/

If you’d like more help, please provide a link to the language files you are using, and where and what strings are not translated.

I’m trying to do this as well, however, it’s not working. I have my buddypress.po and buddypress.mo in my bp-languages folder and I uploaded a new bp-custom.php to the /plugins/ folder however, from there how do I enable the new translation?

I’m using:

<?php

define( 'BPLANG', 'mysite' );

if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-languages/buddypress-' . BPLANG . '.mo' ) ) {

load_textdomain( 'buddypress', BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-languages/buddypress-' . BPLANG . '.mo' );

}

?>

This is all fixed in the latest 1.0 branch if people want to use that. Feel free to make this above change before I release 1.0.4 with these fixes and some other updates.

Apologies for the oversight on translation, it serves me right rushing to get 1.0.3 out for those who had upgraded to 2.8.1!

Andy is aware of some missing instances of the translation function. But, if you are noticing areas of BP that seem to be missing the translation function, please first search trac to see if they have been reported. If not, then open a new ticket. It is better to over report than under report.

My fault, in all the rush to get it working I missed the translation functions on the names. I will fix this and some other things and release a new version soon.

Read here:

@transposh:

Problem seems to be with the output buffering.

Output is getting buffered on initialization and my guess is that it is somehow never flushed.

init_global_vars();



if (isset($_POST['translation_posted'])) {

update_translation();

}

elseif (isset($_GET['tr_token_hist'])) {

get_translation_history($_GET['tr_token_hist'], $_GET['lang']);

}

elseif (isset($_GET['tp_gif'])) {

$trans_gif_64 = "R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw=";

header("Content-type: image/gif");

print(base64_decode($trans_gif_64));

exit;

}

else {

//set the callback for translating the page when it's done

ob_start("process_page");

}

}

When I comment out the ob_start line forums are working. Will test Transposh in a bit.

Try this:

<li<?php if ( is_page('games') ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/games" title="Games">Games</a></li>

I removed bp_is_page() and replaced it with is_page(), since bp_is_page() is only specific to BP components.

Also I removed the _e and echo references to “Games”. Chances are you won’t be using a translation patch editor.

Thanks for your support!

Figured it out: Transposh Translation Filter was causing the blank page. http://transposh.org/

I just hope translation file is added soon, so I can translate into Japanese.

Great! I’m glad this helped.

Snyggt!

There is a translation svn repo in the works. From the buddypress-dev mailing list 6/25/2009:

“The plan is in the next week or two to have a subversion repository set up for your language files. Each time you make a change, please keep the repo up to date with the latest version. I’ll give a weeks notice when a launch is close, so you can make sure your translations are up to date.

I’ll then take the latest for each language and bundle them in the bp-languages folder.”

I have done everything people appear to be saying, but still don’t get the translation (a very simple change from Avatar to Photo. I made the .po and .mo (using PoEdit) and uploaded them to the server

buddypress-Alumni.po and .mo are in the /bp-languages folder and the bp_custom.php is the /plugs/buddypress folder, with this code

<?php

define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘Alumni’ );

if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) ) {

load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );

}

?>

Last step seems to be reloading Buddypress (although I’m not sure how to do this).

Any clue what I should be doing differently to get this to work?

Thanks

The trick would be to use a custom “translation” – this way when you upgrade, you won’t have to manually merge lots of files.
