[Resolved] Change language

I run WP 3.6 and BP 1.8.1

I’ll like everything to be in Swedish. The admin-panel is, but nothing else.
I’ve read everything I can find here but I can’t find what is wrong. The languages files are in place and the wp-config.php says [define (‘WPLANG’, ‘sv_SE’);] as it should.
I’ve also created a bp-custom.php-file and put a simular code string there. Nothing happens.
Please help!

You have nothing to add to bp-custom.php
If you’re on a local install, verify that the gettext php module is activated.
If you are on a network install, you have to set your language in WP’s settings
The translation file path is wp-content/languages/buddypress-sv_SE.mo

Thank you for your answer.
How do I “verify that the gettext php module is activated”?

Quite desperate here, think I’ve tried everything. It says Swedish everywhere, but still the site is in English. Please help me!!!

@magnusnordqvist,

to verify if gettext is enabled localy, you probably have to read your MAMP or WAMP user manual. 😉

Did you made your translation correctly ? I mean by usig poEdit (or similar software) to generate the compiled mo file ?

Once correctly compiled, the translation file must be in the language themes folder.

wp-content/languages/themes/your_theme-sv_SE.mo
wp-content/languages/themes/buddypress-sv_SE.mo
wp-content/languages/themes/twentythirteen-sv_SE.mo

etc……
