Like I said, I have followed this and nothing has changed
That’s odd, it should work, it did for me. I’m on the same versions as you.
I can only imagine that you have missed something out.
Try:
Recheck your po file to make sure your changes were saved.
Recreate the mo file
Reload them into the wp-content/languages/plugins directory.
Tried that too.
Translations are as they should be, files are in the folder they should be in.
I guess my next question is, why isn’t this introduced as a plugin settings option?
Still need help with this people. Anyone else experienced issues uploading translation exactly as stated in the BP codex?
Is there any work arounds?
I really need to update the word friend to business connection and connection across the entire site.
Are you sure that the translation exist ? Have you a buddypress-xx_XX.mo file ? Where xx_XX is the iso of your language (eg en_US).
mo is a compiled format and the only file that php need to translate your strings.
To get such file, you need to use a language compilator like poEdit. Changing strings in only buddypress-xx_XX.po has no effect on the translation. This format is a simple text format intended to be used by the translator.
And the buddypress.pot (note the final T) is also a text format file which contains the list of all strings you can translate.
Where do you add your copy and which language do you use ?
