How did you save the files? F.e. saving as default-nl_NL.po and default-nl_NL.mo should do it.

saved them now as default-de_DE.po and default-de_DE.mo for German.

nothing changed.

But where can I tell the plugin what files to use?

Thanks in advance.

Please check if
define('WPLANG', 'de_DE');
is in your wp-config.php

There should be no need to let the plugin know it has to use different language files. Wordpress does it automaticly.

wp-config.php includes it.
I have now removed the files:
default.po and default.mo.
The only files in the folder .../appointments/languages
are now:
default-de_DE.mo and default-de_DE.mo.
The Date is in German, but the text of the plugin for the user is still in english.
I have searched the default-de_DE.po files for the english termes that are displayed. Like "Click a free day to apply for an appointment." and they are all already translated.

Hi @Sandmann,

Save your language files simply as de_DE.mo and de_DE.po

Should work then.

Hope this helps! And thanks for being a member :slight_smile:

Hello Patrick,

this didn´t work for me.
I renamed the files to de_DE.mo and de_DE.po but this had no effect.
Then I renamed them to default.mo and defaul.po also no effect.
I think the problem is that these files are in:
.../wp-content/plugins/appointments/languages
perhaps this is the wrong folder?
(This is the folder, where the original files came)

Or do I have to change anything else in these files exept translating the english terms in :
msgid "xxxxxx"

regards
Christian

Did you use poedit for translating the files? You should keep the english text in it and put the translation next to it.

OK,
Now I did the following in this folder:
.../wp-content/plugins/appointments/languages
There are now de_DE.mo and de_DE.po, translated with poedit to German. Thus there is english first, then German.
No result.

Still everything is in english only.

Just downloaded the plugin myself. Noticed the following text in the file appointments.php:
```
// Load up the localization file if we're using WordPress in a different language
		// Place it in Appointments+'s "languages" folder and name it "appointments-[value in wp-config].mo"
```
So change the filenames into appointments-de_DE.mo and appointments-de_DE.po
On my website it's now getting tranlated into Dutch (partly) so it should work: http://www.gemeentehollandskroon.net/make-an-appointment/
