Did you check out these articles: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/category/translation/ ?

The usual reason why translation files don’t seem to work is because they are uploaded to the wrong location. It seems your is correct from what I can find at http://idel-france.fr/wp-content/languages/geodirectory/geodirectory-fr_FR.mo

I guess you changed the site language at WP Settings > General, and are not using any caching?

If we need to review your settings, we will need WP admin details and FPT details in a private reply.

I added the GDF child theme, you should always use a child theme.
See http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

I just re-saved your PO file and re-uploaded the MOP and PO file, and it all works now.
I don’t know how you created the files, but there was an error in them.

Please check.

Awsome support thank you it works fine!

I see there’s a few expressions that aren’t translated:

Near me when you use the search arrow to geolocate

On the add-listing page :

Add – Country – Click on above field and type to filter list or add a new region – Click on above field and type to filter list or add a new city -Please accept our terms and conditions

On the login dashboard: My Invoice History

Where can I find these expressions to transalate them are they in the same file somewhere ?

Also there ssems to be a little bug with the location switcher it’s checked to work but i cain’t see it on the main nav menu. I tried private navigation and cleaning my cookies but I caint fix it.

Hi,

did you read the documentation carefully?

https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translate-core/
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translating-addons/

Each plugin has it’s own translation file. The mo file for each plugin has to be uploaded in the correct folder as explained in the documentation.

For example the check out page string will be find in the payment manager add-on translation file.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

I just downloaded your po file. Saved (saving will compile the mo file automatically) and uploaded the mo file. It works again.

I’ìve never used the compile to mo command. Try sinply saving.

I’m not sure what you are doing wrong with poedit, for that yo ucan request for support here: https://poedit.net/support

For the missing translations, you only have the translation file for the core plugin in /wp-content/languages/geodirectory.

You are missing all the add-ons: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translating-addons/

Thanks

I really appreciate all you’re help! i figured what you mean with saving and it does make me an mo file automatically. so i’m trying to move on to translating addons so i create this folder /wp-content/languages/geodiradvancesearch and i load my translated po and mo file to that folder but it’s not working what am I doing wrong ?

I made modifications to the core translation following the correct steps
1 dowload original .po
2 modify with poedit and dave
3 reuploaded the new modified .po and .mo file to the same place
why it went back to English please explain so i can understand!
