You are doing something wrong, when I just save your existing PO files, the MO file created is a little bit different and then works.

1. Download the English file, using FTP
2. Open PoEdit
3. Choose “create new translation”
4. Choose French
5. When saving, save as correct name and in correct location.
6. Upload

How are you doing it?

hey gust thanks for your reply this is the steps i do.

1 i download the english file using ftp
2 i right click on the file open with poedit
3 i save an mo file is created
4 i upload both to the correct folder with the correct name

it’s still not working.

When i create a new translation i get a blank project and all the translations from the transifex files are lost. I really need to translate all expressions that are in English so i need to understand whats going on so i can do this myself. Thanks for all the help!

Hi Stevens,

It’s evident that the problem is on your side and most probably with poedit.

I’m not really sure there is much we can do to help.

The only thing I can suggest is to finish your translation, upload the po files and let us know, we will create the mo files for you and re-upload them.

I would still ask for help on the poedit support forum.

Thanks

I just checked the process explained at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/getting-translation-files/ and it should work.

Hello there I have to ask you I have done modifiactions to my po file that you reloaded and for some reason most of them work put some don’t like ‘please review and accept our terms’ (from the core plugin) if you may do this again please!!! and if you can do this for all the language file for the geodirectory plugins! because i have done modification on 6 other plugins and I still can not see the translations coming in effect I have cleared my browsers cookies and used private navigation. sorry for the bug …

I only created a MO file for your current PO files, I have not made any other changes.
Fixed it again, but we cannot keep doing this, please try to find out what you are doing wrong.
Backup what I have done now and do a few tests to see if there is a setting in your PoEdit that needs changing or seek assistance from PoEdit. Thanks.

You need to use correct HTML code in the PO file, instead of
```
Veuillez lire et accepter les Termes & Conditions
```
you should use
```
Veuillez lire et accepter les Termes & amp ; Conditions
```
That might explain a lot of other issues you have, because you are translating to French.

PS: the code above for
```
& amp ;
```
should not have spaces.
