Hi there,
I need some help !
We already translated our wordpress to pt_br: downloaded pt_br.po and pt_br.mo, uploaded that to language folder and already set the wp-config. That's ok !
Then we downloaded the buddypress-pt_BR.mo and buddypress-pt_BR.po here: http://i18n.svn.buddypress.org/pt_BR/trunk/
I upladed that to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages
But it doesn't worked... There are still a lot of stuff not translated in our website...
I tryed to rename that files to en_EN and uploaded to /wp-content/themes/bp-social/languages
But still doesn't worked...
Can someone help us please ?
Thank you very much
Rodrigo

Hi Timothy,
Already done that... that files are in the /wp-content/languages/
I couldn't find any options about the language at Settings --> General... I changed at wp-config
Like WordPress, BuddyPress has the built in capability to be used in any language. To the right is a list of all currently availiable BuddyPress language translation files.
How to use the language file
Move the PO and MO files to /wp-content/languages/ on your server.
If the /wp-content/languages/ folder does not exist, create it!
Also, make sure you have enabled the same language on the WordPress “Settings > General” admin page.
yep, already tried that previously... still doesn't work...
What is the name of the po/mo files I have to put in theme/language/ folder ?
Isn't it necessary to change some code in some theme php, just like I had to change that configuration in wp-config ?
tks
Hey Timothy,
Excelent news !!!!
Found were was the problem...
I have changed the po/mo theme file for that one I was using with wodpress... I renamed it and thought it would work...
Actually I have to translate/edit the original en_EN from social theme, and rename it for pt_BR...
A lot of work, I think it is necessary to do this manually, but it is working... If you have some idea to make it faster it would be great... otherwise I will continue editing it manually.
Thank you very much for your support.
See ya !

Hey again.
Yeah to translate everything in the theme you could use poedit I mentioned above. But once you have the translation then every time the theme updates you just need to make adjustments. For example new words or sentences which might be added.

Can you please move those BuddyPress language files to:
/wp-content/languages/
Then ensure the same language is chosen in the Admin:
Settings --> General
Let me know how that works?
Take care.

Thats odd. I have just gone and double checked on BuddyPress and get this:
http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/translations/
Could it be something theme related, or is it definitely BuddyPress related?
And if it is theme related, have you translated the themes language file yet?
Take care.

Yep, I think so...
I have read this site previously and tried that... still doesn't work...
How can I translate theme language file ?
Tks
Support Chimp — 28th January 2012 (3 months ago) #
You would need to use a POEDIT or similar:
http://www.poedit.net/
You can find language files in:
theme/language/
There is also some relevant information here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress
Take care.

It would depend on the theme you are using really and if they hard code the language in there or not.
Which theme is it?
Member — 28th January 2012 (3 months ago) #
social !
Support Chimp — 28th January 2012 (3 months ago) #
Oh bp-social, just noticed the string used within your first post.
It was just that you hadn't marked it as such, so I was not sure. (I've moved it there now :-)
In that case you will find default files in there:
bp-social/languages/en_EN.po
bp-social/languages/en_EN.mo
Take care.
