It’s the WP part of Howdy menu.
Check your site settings and set your WP language (dashboard > settings > general) and see if it works.
What is your custom language ? Could be that WP is not fully avaible for it.
Yeah, my WP is set to Spanish and everything else from buddypress is translated to Spanish automatically except for those 2 words… “Edit my profile” and “Log out”
I have been searching a lot but cant find a good solution… Any ideas about this?
Hopefully we can find a solution, thank you for your time!
Regards! 🙂
Deactivate BP, and see if this part is then translated.
Which theme do you use ? Could come from there too.
i have deactivated BP and it´s still not translated.
i am using true mag template: http://demo.cactusthemes.com/#truemag
I can’t help you for a premium theme as i have no access to it without paying.
See theme’s support for that.
But before, let’s try something other.
Set your site language to italian and save. WP will upload the italian translation. If not, do it manually from glotpress and see that you have wp-content/languages/it_IT.mo
Your site is now in italian. Verify the menu translation. If it’s still in english, deactivate your theme and activate 2014 or 2015. The menu should be now in italian.
If it is the case, set site language to spanish and check the menu. Should be in spanish. If ok, reactivate your theme.
If the menu remains in english, contact the theme support.
i have set my WP language to Italian now it is the other way around! “Edit my profile” and “Log out” are in italian and the sub menus are not getting translated lol…

I have changed to twenty fifteen theme and then i changed to italian and all the admin bar was pefectly fine in italian language…
So then i changed language to Spanish (still in twenty fifteen theme) and the admin bar was in English, translation did not work at all, and now everything is in English not just the top part of the menu XD.
Now i am back in my True Mag theme and all the Admin Bar is in English and it is not picking up the Spanish translation anymore…
so in conclusion we went to worst now… haha
any tips? XD
Here what i have on my test install, 2012 + wp+bp in spanish
as you see, the wp part IS in spanish, and most of the bp items are in english, and some are in spanish.
Guess you have to review the whole translation manually with poedit or at least try to setup your site to another spanish format, so that bp could use that one. With a little chance, one of them is correctly translated.
Open the po file with poedit and update it with the POT file shipped with BP 2.2.1.
And complete/modify the translation, save and add the mo file to live site languages/plugins/ directory.
So you are saying to get a POT file and produce a new Spanish translation from scratch as a .MO?
what i did is… get the .POT opened it and translated all the words called “Group”… i exported as .MO and uploaded to the buddypress translation directory and the word “Group” was successfully translated to Spanish as “Grupos”.
i guess translating all manually will solve my problem…
but is there a way to at least get some of it filled out automatically?
Regards
The po file you used initially contains errors or missing strings. This file is on glotpress and indicate it is 100% translated. Problem is, that Glotpres doesn’t control the syntax and 100% translated doesn’t mean working to 100%.
If you use this po file as work base, you have already 95% translated and probably some typo errors. poEdit handle this and shows you which strings are not “completed” or have “changed”. In this case, you have to validate the translation. Such difference are highlighted in a different color, so they’re easy to see.
It’s not automated, but a kind of.

Ok sorry for that, i am pretty new to manual translating stuff…
but yeah i managed to find a solution, thanks for the tips!
what i did is get buddypress-esES.PO file that was not working from /languages/plugins and with POEDIT i used “UPDATE FROM .POT FILE…” so my .PO updated the missing fields from the original buddypress .POT! which is located in wp-content/plugins/buddypress.
Now i am just translating the new fields imported and it is successfully translating ! i will spend a while fully translating the missing fields and everything should be fixed !
Hopefully i don’t run into more problems after this… or during this… haha if i do… i will be back XD
and yeah i hope this helps other people because i have been searching around for this all since yesterday… i went kind of crazy for this… and i wasn’t finding any good solutions
and thank you danbp for your quick replies and help !
🙂
