Changing the language and adding other fields

    Greetings!
    I have installed the plug-in, but I want to change a few things.
    First of all, I want to change the language to Romanian, if possibly, doing it manually.
    Beginning with “Write a new entry” button and ending with the “Submit” button. Of course, I want to change the fields “Name”, “City”, “Guestbook entry”.

    I would also like to add another field, if possible.

    For example, I want to put the field “Parerea ta/Your opinion” and after that “Scrie in detaliu parerea ta/Write your opinion in detail”.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    The /lang directory has a pot-file, that you can use as the basis for the Romanian translation. Software like Poedit is really nice to use.
    If you have a po-file done, you can send it to marcel@timelord.nl

    The plugin has no options for extra fields, sorry. It is really a guestbook, not a review plugin or anything else.

    Well, I can’t find the “name”, “city”, etc. in the pot-file. All I find in it are the settings of the admin’s control panel.

    Hmm, the pot-file in SVN has on line 607 the string “Name” available. It should really be there. Where did you get the pot-file from?

    I downloaded the plug-in from wordpress.org, installed it, activated it… for the pot-file, I went to cPanel, gwolle-gb, lang… there I found the GVGB.pot file.

    I did find the Name at line 607, changed it, saved it.. but it still didn’t change it.

    I really don’t know how to change the fields.. I’m talking about the fields that appear when you post in the guestbook (Name, city, email, website, guestbook entry), the submit button and the >>write a new entry button.

    If I tell you the romanian equivalent for those fields, can you add them into a new pot-file that I can download? Please. I’m really awful at this.

    Hi,
    At http://timelord.nl/tmp you can find a ro_RO po-file.
    You can easily edit this with the poEdit software from:
    https://poedit.net/download
    When saving, you will have a po-file and a mo-file. WordPress uses the mo-file, so you should have that in your website to test.

    I edited the file and uploaded the mo file in the lang folder. But how do I set it for use?

    If the file is named /wp-content/plugins/gwolle-gb/lang/GWGB-ro_RO.mo it should be found by default.
    In Settings / General your setting should be Romana, with the value ro_RO. Is it?

    Yes, but I don’t want to change the settings of the entire blog, I want the dashboard to remain in English.

    Sorry, I don’t know how to do that. Maybe other people have a support topic on the forums with answers?

    So in order to have the Guestbook in Romanian, I need to change the blog language to Romanian?

    Yes, I would think that.
    There might be ways to have frontend and backend in a different language, but that’s about it.
