    Hello,

    Is there a way to translate buddypress in several languages ? If so what about the plugin installed, did they get translated too ?

    I would like my users to have the choice to select the language of their choice for the buddypress’s function

    Thanks you for your help.

    Best regards,

    Have a look in the WordPress plugin repository for plugins that let your users switch language. You’ll also find plugins that support translation of page content (as opposed to the standard BP menus / text)

    Thanks I’ll have a look at it ! I’ve seen that the french translation https://i18n.trac.buddypress.org/browser/fr_FR has multiple files, how to pick the right one ?

    @rogercoathup I’ve put the buddypress-fr_FR.po in bg-language but I’ don’t see where I cant set the default language in buddypress ? I haven’t look yet at a plugin for offering the user a choice to switch language.

    in wp-config.php:
    `
    /**
    * WordPress Localized Language, defaults to English.
    *
    * Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen
    * language must be installed to wp-content/languages. For example, install
    * de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ to enable German
    * language support.
    */
    define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);
    `

    @rogercoathup Thanks but this will be applied to all the blogs ? My buddypress is on a secondary blogs. And I just want to offer the users the choice to translate the functions in their languages.

    I have found something who could really fit my needs but I can’t make it work :
    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fw-quick-langswitch/

    I’ve installed it, but if I click on the flags nothing happen. I have named my images according to the name of my languages files (buddypress.pot et buddypress-fr_FR.mo)

    You would have to ask on the support forum for that plugin (if they have one)

    @rogercoathup Thanks, apparently this plug-in is only working until the version 2.9.2 of WordPress.

    Do you know a plug-in who could offer the user the choice to choose the buddypress’s function language ?

    @johnwinch42 –

    Sorry, I don’t.

    Marco Rossi experimented with some plugins for this on the site we created for him at http://fisherbook.com/fisherbook-magazine – but, I notice he is no longer using them, so they mustn’t have been successful

    @rogercoathup Any clue on how I could modify the plug-in to fit Buddypress 1.2.5.2 ?
    Or how to create one ? I don’t need anything fancy, I just want to offer my buddypress’s user the choice to choose in which language they want their buddypress functions.

    What plug-in used Marco Rossi ? Very nice site by the way :)
    All of this from the default buddypress theme ?

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fw-quick-langswitch/, it’s working I didn’t renamed the image file correctly. Does anyone use it ? I would like to know if your navigation bar is translated on the others blogs.

    For me, the plugin only translate the navigation bar on buddypress.myblogs.com. The other blogs are still having the navigation bar in English.
