As you can see in the BP source (2.1),
$nav_name = sprintf( _x( 'Notifications <span class="%s">%s</span>', 'Profile screen nav', 'buddypress' ), esc_attr( $class ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );
This string in po. is outdated: Notifications <span class=\”count\”>%s</span>
You have to open your actual po file with poEdit (or similar translation tool) and update it with the pot file comming with latest BP version. (/buddypress/buddypress.pot)
Once updated the string to translate will be:
Notifications <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
who should be translated to:
Benachrichtigung <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
Be aware that poEdit uses different colors to indicate you the translated strings, the untranslated strings AND the fuzzy strings wich are approximative translation. These fuzzy strings must be double checked and validated or modified to work.
Example: difficult to see sometimes the subtle difference between “%s” and “count” when reading too fast ! 😉
@danbp: Thanks for your help. But it’s still not working. What I have done:
(1) Downloaded newest version of buddypress (2.1.1).
(2) Replaced my current buddypress.pot on webserver with the newest version (buddypress/buddypress.pot).
(3) Open the file with poedit.
(4) Looked for Notifications <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
(5) Added the translation Benachrichtigung <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
(6) Upload the buddypress.pot again.
Is there any mistake in my way to fix that problem? I’m using a child theme if this is important to you.
Thank you for helping me!
The pot file doesn’t contain the translation, only the strings you can translate.
The translation is done in po (not pot) file and compiled to a mo file. buddypress-de_DE.mo is the file you have to use.
Ok thanks. So I probably have problems to unterstand your answer before. The state of play is:
In .pot-file there is: Notifications <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
In .po-file buddypress-de_DE.po there is: Notifications <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
In .po-file buddypress-de_DE.po there is the translation: Benachrichtigungen <span class=\"%s\">%s</span>
That should working I think. But it do not.
Anyone with an idea how to solve the problem?
Is your site using german language ?(dashboard > setting > general)
See if you have define (‘WP_LANG’,’de_DE’) in wp-config. If yes, remove it as it it is no more used by WP 4.x
Because I’m using german language in general settings I have removed define (‘WP_LANG’,’de_DE’) in wp-config. Unfortunately it did not work.
@danbp: Do you habe another idea how to fix that?
