Front end doesn’t change language

    Hi there,

    I’ve changed language setting in wp-admin to Chinese (Hong Kong). I’ve created the corresponding mo and po files, namely wppizza-zh_HK.mo and wppizza-zh_HK.po, and put them into the lang folder within the plugin wppizza. Nevertheless, the front end is still not changed to Chinese (Hong Kong). For example, sizes are still in English, small, medium, large…

    Anything else I need to look into?

    Thanks

    Wanda

    you are looking in the wrong place

    wppizza->localization / wppizza->sizes
    what you do in the po/mo files after install makes absolutely no difference (not for the frontend anyway)

    I see
    So what are the translation files for, if they are not for the frontend?

    to install defaults (wppizza-xx_XX)
    or show admin infos (wppizza-admin-xx_XX)

    So the language files are only applicable, if the default language is in that language. Gotcha. Thanks!
