buddypress.po:7 field ‘Language-Team’ still has initial default value.
I’ve never done a translation before but I wanted to change the word ‘group’ to something else.
I followed the instructions in the documentation to a T but it’s not working right. Even though i can create the .mo file after opening it there is nothing in the file
I´m working on a translation to Swedish for BuddyPress right now, and use the language-file for this.
I have the german-language-files in use (.mo and .po files) and there is the english word “Activity” already being translated into the german word “Aktivitäten” within the language-file.
However this single word is actually not being translated into german-language at the website itself.
All other words are being translated fine, but this word and another one still keep their english wording.
Anyone a clue what the issue could be about this ? Maybe an error in the .pot-file format or anything else ?
How to fix that ?
Many thanks,
Erich
Anybody working on an updated version of the Swedish translation?
Thanx intimez and Paul. I select settings->permalinks and then a common setting like the second (date and name) or third (month and name) but when I click “Save Settings” there is a message (in greek this is the translation) on the bottom of the page that “if the .htaccess file was writable then save will be automatically be completed, but it seems that it is not. Here are the rules mod_rewrite that you must enter into the .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
“
So, I cannot save settings and I cannot find .htaccess file. I have manually (I uploaded the folder with filezilla) installed buddypress, because there was a problem with automatic installation. Maybe it is the “same” problem again…
I also tried to create the “.htaccess” file as Paul suggests but since I have windows xp, it is impossible to create a file without a filename.
I tried to make the “/” folder writeable also (I give you the procedure I followed). I logged in with filezilla and I right clicked on “/” folder. Then I clicked on file properties and I ticked “write” on owner, group and public and I also selected to apply this setting to subfolders.
Unfortunately, the problem remains 
I followed this very helpful guide here about how to customize buddypress words. (for example, our beta testers get confused by ‘Leave Group’ thinking it is just a way to leave the page, so I want to change it to the less attractive Quit Group.)
but I realize that by putting the language translation files in the buddypress folder itself, it will get overwritten in the next buddypress upgrade. is this true? and i so do people know of a work around? perhaps a symlink to a folder outside the buddypres folder. ideas?
That is what i’ve done:
1) downloaded plugin, and copy it to serwer to “wp-content/plugins”
2) activate plugin

And next happen that:

translation “You do not have sufficient permissions to enter this site.”
I have no access to dashboard.
Everytime i want to go to wp-admin it’s the same problem.
I’ve tired to install buddypress on 2 different hostings.
The same issues
I’m looking for a very simple widget that will switch the language of BuddyPress. Seeing as buddypress is a theme, I guess I’m just looking for a widget that will switch the theme language. There are many language translation plugins out there but they are mainly for posting in multiple languages – which would not really work in BP. anyone know of anything out there?
@Johnjamesjacoby – I realize you’re busy guy – but any update on this. I’m looking for a simple plugin that will simply let a user change the BP interface language. google translation would be great but not essential.
Hi ,
I really like the site, very clean and well explained. I have a quick question. How did you change the Group Forums Directory menu name to Tutoring? Is there an easy way/place to do this? I have tried making a translation file but that didn’t work.
Thanks for any advise
james
The app is using the translation strings (with default verbiage) — that’s why you see stuff like __( ‘Leave Group’, ‘buddypress’ ) for example, in the code.
You need to make a custom language file as well as changing slugs in wp-config.php (optionally). Search this forum for more info on how to create a language file and switch it on with bp-custom.php for your install. I recommend getting poedit from Sourceforge to make editing easier.
For that to work as intended, you also need to set WP_LANG in your wp-config.php and load a nBb_NO translation for WordPress.
This is working now.
– Deaktivated and deleted BP.
– Reinstalled and activated BP.
– Hardcoded the language file in bp_core.php (replaced: buddypress-$locale with nb_NO.MO)
Not sure why BP wouldnt fetch the translation file.
A tag is for a specific release of BP: e.g. 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3.
A branch is for a specific range of releases: e.g. 1.2.*
Any bug fixes will be applied into the 1.2 branch so it’s a good, mostly safe place, to stay if you want to run a version newer than 1.2.3 that isn’t going to add new functionality or mess up your site.
Hi again Paul.
Yes, they are visable to search engines – (it would have been great if it was that easy).
I have a feeling that there is somethng wrong with the database.
I had some truble getting a language installation running, so i had to delete
everything BP related to get rid of the “white screen of death”, including every
bp_ line in the database. After the reinstallaltion of Bp, i see that something is
wrong (only with bp, everything else is working fine)
My very helpful host (wpwebhost), was able to atleast get bp and my language
installed. BUT, it is not translating BP, and i cant see any activity
– mammabloggen.no is the site if anyone want to have a quick look at it to see
what im talking about.
Everything was working fine (except translation) before deleted the lines in the
database. (it looks like they are all there, but i have a feeling that something is missing)..
Thank you for helping me out 
Ps. I will gladly pay someone to get this up and running for me, just PM me.
Hi.
I’m having problems with the activation of buddypress.
I get this error:
Fatal Error: Could not activate the pluggin
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/mammabl1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-blogs.php on line 231
This happends when im trying to use a Norwegian translation file that i have created.
Have the newest BuddyPress (this is my only pluggin), and the latest stabile release of WordPress MU.
I had to delete my last installation of BuddyPress becase when i activated it (with a wrong
version translation file) the whole backoffice became white – no links, no Nothing..
I did not delete anything in the database when i uploaded the pluggin manually again to
try it with my new translation file. Should I do that, If so, what should i delete?
Can somebody please help me out here alittle? This is starting to be really frustrating
LOL, I have been trying to get this to work for a few days now..
Hello, and thank you very much for this wonderful plug in.
There is a broken link here: http://codex.buddypress.org/translations/greek-ellinika-el_gr/
link: http://rcc1.x10hosting.com/bp-greek.zip
So i can’t download the translation.
Thank you.
I just tagged 0.4 final.
Thank you very much to everyone who helped with the testing, translations, and bug reports.
Not much has changed since the beta.
* Changing the component slug is now officially supported
* Do not show my group links or create link form unless user is a group member
As soon as the repo updates you can upgrade from your dashboard. If you have a ton of links, make sure you let the page load all the way after upgrading since every link needs to be updated to populate a new field.
Only two languages are up to date for 0.4. Those would be FR and NL. If you are interested in updating or adding a translation, you can download the .pot file here…
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/export/229924/buddypress-links/tags/0.4/languages/buddypress-links.pot
Enjoy the 0.4 branch!
1: Before activating the plugin, comment out in the bp-events.php (plugin directory):
* 21-24 row (require..)
2: Activate the plugin
3: You receive the error message You receive the error message
4: Uncomment the lines of paragraph 1, and refresh the page
OK, something is ‘lost in translation’ for me… I commented out rows 21-24, tried to activate the plugin and got this message:
Fatal error: Class 'BP_Events_Event' not found in /home/website22/public_html/bp/wp-content/plugins/bp-events/bp-events.php on line 215
Bowe, what did you do at this point?
UPDATE: OK, they mean uncomment row 21 so BP can see the classes file. I then got a “function not found” error, so I uncommented the rest of the includes, and it seems to work now.
Wow! Very cool.
Thank you both for pointing me in the right direction. But I still got some problems.
I tried the language translation files but it only translates a few parts of the actual content inside BuddyPress and not any of the URLs.
So I tried to follow the steps in the Docs. But I seem to be missing a bp-custom.php file. So I added the definable slugs to my wp-config.php file instead. But no change has been made to my URLs.
What could be wrong?
@roydeanjr – Can you be more specific about the error that you get? This plugin doesn’t really affect group creation at all, since groups are essentially created by the end of step 2 (the screen where you check “Create Group Blog”) and the invitations don’t come until the end of the process. Do you have the same problem with group blogs even with Invite Anyone turned off? Exactly what does the error say?
@hnla – The tab nav string is in in the file invite-anyone/by-email.php, function invite_anyone_setup_nav(), around line 199 where it says ‘name’ => __( ‘Send Invites’, ‘buddypress’ ). I’m noticing that I’m inheriting the BP string translation, since the phrase occurs in BuddyPress core. If it would help, I can change that to the bp-invite-anyone domain, so that you could use a language file to apply the change just in that place.
As for hidden groups: I am using bp_has_groups with the user_id of the logged in user to populate that group list. Thus the Invite New Members screen should only show the groups that the user is a member of. It’s possible that you’re seeing all groups because you’re testing with an admin account. Have you verified your hidden group problem with a non-admin account?
