Updated – I’ve successfully created a new .mo file to change labels across BP. My question is what to do if I wish to further update that file down the road? Do I delete the existing .mo file and simply execute the new .mo again?
Works great as advertised!
Thx
@scotm – Just edit the .po (which should still exist, and be human-readable), either in a text-editor or a program like Poedit, and then create a new .mo file.
So if I change the ‘Groups’ label throughout my site, will that create issues with plugins created for ‘Groups’? Will the change in terminology cause issues with these plugins?
This thread should be moved to the Localization Support Group.
Jeff, we can’t move forum threads at the moment.
Anyone know if this is an issue?
@scotm
Use PoEdit to customize your .po and you won’t have to worry about command lines and the like.
Unless you’re using a Mac, in which case I’d suggest staying well away from poEdit.
I’m having no trouble with poEdit and have successfully made changes to my .po file to create new .mo file for BuddyPress. What I’d like to know is whether changing the term ‘groups’ throughout my site will affect the use of plugins that specifically call for ‘groups’?
It depends how the plugin is written. Probably not, though.
