the only widget that appears in my bp home is the “text” widget, but all the bp-related widgets: site-activity, members, groups, who’s online, do not show at all. All the rest of the bp works well: the problem is it only with the homepage widgets.
i’ve reuploaded the whole rc1 combo but nothing happens…and i’ve opened an assistance ticket too. Sorry to be boring, but the website is online and you know that it’s a pain. Thank you!
I’ve the same problem… but.. not in english! maybe, for the time being, you can set your translation back to english. If I find a solution I will put it here.
hi roomer: do you think that the language is the cause of this bug? do you mean the wpmu language or the bp language?
yes you are in right!!! changing the wpmu settings to english it works! But this is still a pain, cause my users speak italian and not english…
i’ve posted a message but i don’t view it…
probably akismet block the url of bp italy site…
ok ok my fault! 
there are an error with localization in Italian, i’m working now on it to resolve, sorry for this.
@sgrunt in the next hour go on BuddyPress Italy site and download the new version.
thanx Arturo, i hope we can solve this, and thanx for localization too!
Arturo i’m visiting buddypress ita, but i’ve not found any updated file, could you write something when it will be available for download? tnx!
i’ve re-translated the RC-1 but the widgets don’t works… and i don’t know why. Andy any suggestion about this?
sgrunt download the localization file and try, tell me if it works with you. thanks…
Sadly, i must confirm this issue with a german BP RC1, too … 
Exactly the same problem as sgrunt declared.
The only workaround to handle/ display widgets again seems to be deleting the wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/buddypress-de_DE.mo (or what language ever).
Praying for this issue being solved soon, since I had planed to launch my BP-Site “officially” this weekend …
thanks mark, it’s right, this is the problem with the localization file.
so we waiting Andy for a solution…
I got the same problem with thai language. I fixed it by “no translation for widget text” until this problem is fixed
arturo84, thanks for your quick reply. Feedback becalms in first…
So: Andy Andy Andy (we believe in you)
P.S.: i announced this issue in the german BuddyPress forum.
u’re welcome mark, i’ve announced this in the buddypress-it.it site (italian) if the german team have a solution, please share it!
Hi all.
I had an issue with widgets when I first translated BP to Swedish.
Try this: after you upload your translation file go into the admin panel and remove all widgets from the site.
After this, re-add them the same way as they were before.
Andy mentioned that WordPress registers widgets in a “wierd” way that translation can screw up.
hi martin, i’ve removed, saved, re-added, and re-saved, but the widgets don’t appear.
Ok, then I don’t know what could cause this.
I’ll see how my site reacts when I upload the new translation some time tomorrow.
The strange thing is that the “add” button on the widgets is still in english… where o where is that hardcoded?
nope roomer in my demo site i’ve “add” translated right… we waiting Andy for a solution…
i re-up this thread, cause i see that all the non-english buddypressers are blocked from this issue. Sorry to be boring Andy, and really thanks for you great work with bp!
I guess there were some localization changes anyway – since RC-1 the translations are back to “bad” (as far as it concerns german).
About the widgets: It seems that it only affects BP-Widgets?!
yes, only bp widgets are affected
i’ve another problem, if localization is active i don’t receive email from bp, like notices, plus widgets problem, if i disable localization the email works and widgets too…
I believe, that with a localization active (in my case german) the RSS-Feed per example for sitewide-activity doesn’t work (now, since I deinstalled the translation, it works surprisingly 
)
