    Just wanted to know – if I want to translate language files to my language – do I need to modify .po and .mo files from geodirectory-languages directory?
    I tried but my new translations are not showing up and still shows in english

    my wordpress instalation is in Latvian language – not in english. does it matter?

    Thank you!

    Dear Chintia!

    Try this:

    • Go to pluginsgeodirectorygeodirectory-languages folder.
    • Open the geodirectory-en_US.po file with POedit.
    • In POedit go to Files > Save As..
    • Save the file as: geodirectory-xx_XX.po <- Replace the xx_XX with your own language’s shortcode!
    • Now, you can translate the texts inside the file with POedit. After you done, save the file.

    remember to upload the new language files (both po and mo) in the same plugin folder where you downloaded the geodirectory-en_US.po and to change in wp-config.php

    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    to

    define (‘WPLANG’, ‘xx_XX’); <- Replace the xx_XX with your own language’s shortcode!

    Hi,
    this is the list of steps to follow to translate the plugin:

    • Go to pluginsgeodirectorygeodirectory-languages folder.
    • Open the geodirectory-en_US.po file with POedit.
    • In POedit go to Files > Save As.. >> Save the file as: geodirectory-xx_XX.po <- Replace the xx_XX with your own language’s shortcode!
    • Translate the texts inside the file with POedit. After you done, save the file.
    • It will create a geodirectory-xx_XX.po and geodirectory-xx_XX.mo files, upload them BOTH on pluginsgeodirectorygeodirectory-languages
    • Edit your wp-config.php file and set define (‘WPLANG’, ‘xx_XX’); <- Replace the xx_XX with your own language’s shortcode!

    Have you missed anything?

    Hello Paolo,

    I think I follow your roadmap.

    But still nothing changes …

    I put you a screen to see if the name of my files is good.

    Thank you for your support

    that looks correct, even though the mo file should be a bit heavier if the translation was made…

    Did you change in your wp-config-php file:

    define (‘WPLANG’, ‘’);

    to

    define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);

    ?

    I take back everything I said.

    In fact I was using poedit not translate.

    And now it works fine.
