I guess there were some localization changes anyway – since RC-1 the translations are back to “bad” (as far as it concerns german).
About the widgets: It seems that it only affects BP-Widgets?!
Ok, then I don’t know what could cause this.
I’ll see how my site reacts when I upload the new translation some time tomorrow.
Hi all.
I had an issue with widgets when I first translated BP to Swedish.
Try this: after you upload your translation file go into the admin panel and remove all widgets from the site.
After this, re-add them the same way as they were before.
Andy mentioned that WordPress registers widgets in a “wierd” way that translation can screw up.
I got the same problem with thai language. I fixed it by “no translation for widget text” until this problem is fixed
I think more logical is to use WPLANG:
if ( file_exists( MUPLUGINDIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . WPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) )
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, MUPLUGINDIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . WPLANG . ‘.mo’ );
As my system locale is different.
I’ve the same problem… but.. not in english! maybe, for the time being, you can set your translation back to english. If I find a solution I will put it here.
Yes, Swedish.
I’m 85% done and should be able to wrap the RC1 translation up over the weekend.
I’ve just download the rc1 and testing locally on my wpmu 2.65.
I have a problem in every page related to the member-theme:
Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in C:xampphtdocsmuwp-contentmember-themesbuddypress-memberfunctions.php on line 14
I’m using the whole combo (except the css folder of the themes).
And the site activity feed now works: italian users should change some lines cause the translation contains some à: attività insted of activity.
Hi,
I read the post about BuddyPress and WordPressMU, and i’ve a question about the feature that allows install, download and update BuddyPress through WPMU backend in WordPressMU language?
For example, I have installed WPMU in Italian, I can install BP in Italian from the backend of WPMU? Or must still rely on the sites of translation like buddypress-it.it for the Italian language and then insert the files in bp-languages?
MartinNr5: need help with the Swedish translation? I was about to start doing that next week, but I see no need to re-do finished work.
There is one PO file indeed for BuddyPress components. And I think the language pieces in the buddypress home theme should be separate so people can more easily change the language in of the theme without compromising the translations for BuddyPress itself.
Shouldn’t be there a language file for the home theme?
Ah nice to have also a swedish version soon
Slugs for the URLs are now determined at the beginning of the bp-core.php file. If you want http://domain.com/members to be Dutch: http://domain.com/leden/, it has to be translated in the bp-core.php file. I now have to include a copy of bp-core.php for the URL slug translation in the translation package.
Why not read the value out of the translation file?
Thanks, I seemed to have missed the subpage construction when I edited the page.
The translation is now online!
register and create a page for this translation in the codex section like other languages.
The translation of BuddyPress to Dutch (nl_NL) is nearly done. We need some checks here and then it can be released. What is the next step to get it available here?
That sounds like you need an updated translation file for german.
The BP 1.0b2 release added a few more lines to be translated to the mix.
Thanks burtadsit! Patch truly solved the randomize problem.
For the language problem: I would be happy if there could be a toggle that siteadmin can decide what translation should unlogged user see always in bp-admin-bar.. if it is considered as a feature. 
EDIT: Just tested that the translation effect is same is user logged in or not. Bar changes from blog to another, depending the current blog language setting. It’s annoying I think. When user selects a language he/she wants to use, shouldn’t the it be the same all around the site?
Howdy. I’m not sure why there is a problem. Here’s what I think is happening.
register_sidebar_widget( __(‘Members’, ‘buddypress’), ‘bp_core_widget_members’);
That registers the members widget with translation. If in your .mo and .po file the word “Members” is translated then it should work fine. This is what you are doing?
Looking at the random blogs problem now. Don’t know about the translation question. I’ll have to investigate that.
OK. Random blog question is actually a bug. Ticket and patch for the fix is: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/445
I understand your admin bar language question but can’t decide if it’s a bug or an enhancement. I’ll post it as a bug and it will get noticed that way. Andy can decide if it’s more along the lines of an enhancement by changing it’s status.
I know. I’m being lazy by delegating the issue upward.
MartinNr5: Was just starting do translate to swedish for my site http://www.ronaldblogg.se go and check it out. Would you like to share your translation?
Hope to hear from you..
WP 2.7, BP beta 2 installed. By clicking adminbar Visit -> Random Blog, it takes me everytime to same blog? And in there it won’t go anywhere else. Is this a bug, or is something wrong with my configuration?
Another thing, that I would like to control is the admin-bar translation. It seems to use the current blog language. Example: If unlogged user goes to somebody’s blog where wp language is set to French, the admin-bar is also French. I’d like to keep translation same everytime for unlogged users.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
I have created a bug for this in the bugtracker as this affects my Swedish translation as well.
Hi,
I’m preparing a Hungarian translation for my BuddyPress/WordPressMu site, but when I upload the .mo and .po files all but one of my Home page widgets disappear. I got an error message when recompiling from the source files saying the v escape could not be used in internationalization and replaced the v with n .
The affected widgets are:

Hi folks !
The WPMU pot file exist !
You can found it here:
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/pot/mu/trunk/wordpress.pot
The file contains all the lines for wp, but also for wpmu.
I translated it in french for 2.7 beta without problems; Just take care off many plural forms who need to be translated too…
I’m looking for a bbPress translation who works. Actually, the forums are only half translated. If somebody has a solution ?
hi oldskoo,
you get wrong by retrieving the (get locale() because at the next update of your bp-core.php file, this will be back again.
And what do you think what are the language settings on site and blogs for ?
wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-' . get_locale(). '.mo'
this line means /path/to/your/locale language settings and call the translation file buddypres-en.mo (note the hyphen)
get_locale() comes sometimes along with get_domain(), who entend something like en_US.mo or de_DE…
You will find some functions using locale() and domain() in wp-includesl10n.php
wich is one of the language setting file.
