    Hi,

    Can you please advice how the best way is to translate GD used in GDF? Is it via PO Files? If I change something in the PO File my changes dont occur?! – I have also tried it with WPML but that causes major problems on other functions. Please tell me how to do it best.

    Thanks

    HI PSI,

    Over the next few days i will be making a detailed tutorial on this.
    You can use either .po/.mo files or WPML or a combination of both.

    GDF you should use the child theme so your files are not overwritten, copy the languages folder to your child theme and translate the .po files files there.

    For the plugin the best way to do it is use the plugins text domain and create a folder in your main languages folder so for example if i was translating advanced search i would place my file here:
    /public_html/wp-content/languages/geodiradvancesearch/geodiradvancesearch-en_US.mo
    this way it will not be overwritten by updates.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    Hi Stiofan,

    Thanks! Is it enough to use the PO File? For what do I need the MO File?

    Thanks

    Hi patrick, please do some readding on the matter, the .po file is the one you use to translate the text, the .mo file is what is produced as a result and what wordpress actually uses to do the translation.

    Thanks,
