    Dear Support-Team,

    i just purchased your plugin and i think it is great, even so very complex (what is not your fault, but the complexity of course what the customers expect) and now i am a bit overwhelmed with a probably simple task, sorry about that questions, but i am unable to find the solution/missing a simple answer in the FAQ – sorry 🙁

    i have read…
    a) https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/category/translation/
    b) https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/search/?bbp_search=language
    c) and one particular answer from paolo (April 20, 2017 at 7:18 pm, https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/translations-updates/#post-374493) worries me a bit, but you have to understand that you are into the whole plugin-thing, but many of you users aren’t so i ask anyhow now in hope to get an answer

    MY QUESTION:
    How change i set a different language then english?

    WHAT I DID SO FAR (beside trying to find a solution in the above mentioned links):
    1.) uploaded the languages files *po/*.mo to /wp-content/languages/plugins
    2.) (re-)choosen and re-saved the language setting in /wp-admin/options-general.php
    3.) choose the language in /wp-admin/admin.php?page=geodirectory&tab=design_settings

    But still on the start page it says in english “Popular Categories”. I tried german and spanish language files, but w/o luck.

    Any quick hint? Sorry…

    And thank you in advance for your support,
    benjamin

    Hi,

    everything looks correct except the files name which should end with de_DE.mo

    If you provide a link, ftp and admin credentials we will definitely look into your problem, you don’t have to worry.

    That member got a harsh response because he was accusing us of making him waste his time, when in reality he wasn’t reading docs at all.

    Thanks

    Thank You Paolo, that worked out, i just had to rename the files. I downloaded the files here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/translate/projects/geodirectory/de/default/ (by clicking on “export” . I just did it again and the filename ist the same (without DE_de, just _de), so i didn’t think of that.
    Anyhow, issue resolved by renaming the files DE_de and ES_es, thank you very much.

    You are welcome 🙂

    p.s. I’ve asked to Stiofan to verify if it’s possible to make glotpress serve files with the correct name. He’ll let us know asap.

    I have made the downloads be the correct name (most of the time) when downloading.

    Thanks,
