 * If recipress is translate ready you can use this plugin to translate it: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/)
   
   It can scan recipress for all translatable strings and create the necessary .
   po and .mo files.
 * Use the instructions in this [tutorial](http://alefba.us/how-to/localize-wordpress-themes-plugins-codestyling-localization/)
   on how to use the plugin.

 * Yes, I’ve heard that is a great plugin to use. Here’s another tutorial about 
   translating WordPress themes and plugins. [http://urbangiraffe.com/articles/translating-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/](http://urbangiraffe.com/articles/translating-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/)
 * Be sure to share your translation with me so that it can added to the official
   plugin releases. Thanks!

 * Do you have a .pot (or .po) file for your plugin that translators can use?

 * Hi Tammy,
    seems that ReciPress doesn’t recognize the new language. Files are
   recipress-it_IT.po and .mo in lang folder. I tried de/reactivating and reinstalling
   plugin too but without success. Any idea?

 * I’m honestly completely new to localization. I had followed a tutorial and thought
   it was set up correctly but perhaps not. I would love any insight that you could
   offer. Does WordPress have to be set to that language in order for a plugin to
   try to use it, or is there a way it can be tested on an English install? Sadly,
   English is my only language.

 * I’m sorry Tammy but I cannot help you on this, as I’m not a coder but I’m sure
   that there are a lot, out there, that could help you.
    I only followed the normal
   procedure to translate, whit GETTEXT standard and, normally the extension recognizes
   the language file. ReciPress is a good plugin, I’m sure that somebody will help
   you on this. Thanks to share it

    Do you load your plugin’s
   textdomain? [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/load_plugin_textdomain](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/load_plugin_textdomain)

 * Yes, in the main plugin file:
 *     ```
       // Localization
       add_action('after_theme_setup', 'recipress_plugin_setup');
   
       function recipress_plugin_setup() {
       	load_plugin_textdomain('recipress', false, RECIPRESS_DIR.'/lang/');
       }
       ```

 * try it with the ‘init’ hook:
 *     ```
       // Localization
       add_action('init', 'recipress_plugin_setup');
   
       function recipress_plugin_setup() {
       	load_plugin_textdomain('recipress', false, RECIPRESS_DIR.'/lang/');
       }

 * Hi there!
    Thanx for this wonderful plugin which we will add to some blogs – 
   very well done 😉
 * I recognized the same behavior with the loading of the textdomain and find out
   that the loading call is wrapped in a function/hook which is wrong.
 * There is no function/hook needed for that – just add the loading call at the 
   beginning of the plugin code – to make sure everything after that is included
   in the display of the translations (also errors etc.).
 * Just this line is neccessary not more:
 *     ```
       /** Load translations */
       load_plugin_textdomain( 'recipress', false, dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) . '/lang/' );
       ```
   
 * I changed this on my install and promptly all gets loaded in backend AND frontend!
   This is also regular WordPress standard.
 * You can also add these two lines to the plugin header (in the main file):
 *     ```
       Text Domain: recipress
       Domain Path: /lang/
       ```
   
 * This will make the plugin header/description also translateable.
 * Thanx for that!
 * I have it completely translated into German already and will post the link here
   too!
 * Thanx again for the awesome work with the plugin!
 * -Dave from Germany 🙂

   package if you want:
