you need to download poedit software, and look for the language file buddypress-en_US.po open it and use it as you are translating the plugin. Use the search tool for “Groups” and everytime it turns out replace that word for “Circles” and upload that file again.
That’s it.
i downloaded the poedit software, then i did a full search in both the buddypress plugin folder, and my theme folder. nothing called buddypress-en_US.po pulled up…:-/ am i not looking in the right place?
I think I remember when I isntalled Buddypress it created a language folder at wp-content/languages, let me know if you can find it there
nothing there…:-/ in my wp-content folder, i have plugins, themes, upgrade, and uploads. that’s it. i know everyone keeps updateing their software so who knows now.
I figured it out! i had to use poedit, then i had to manually create the en_US file and place it in a manually created language folder in the wp-content folder. thank you! with the new versions, you have to go to your buddypress folder under plugins, make a copy of the buddypress.pot file, rename it and edit it in poedit. manually create the language folder, and place it in there. the rest is automatic!
