    Hey there!

    I know this is probably very basic, but after hours of searching I turn to the forums for help. I want Buddymatic in my language.

    I got the norwegian .po file in /buddymatic/libraries/languages/

    How do i make the theme use this language-file instead of english?

    Yeah, i got that too. But how do i make the theme understand that i want that language? It’s in a folder with a dozen other languages .po and .mo files.

    It should pick up the default language you have set for WordPress, is it not doing so?

    No, the admin-area is translated (to Norwegian) with it’s .mo-file (by editing wp-config.php), but the theme doesn’t pick up on it and use it’s own .mo-file.

    Any ideas?

    Hang on.. Upon checking out the file in Poedit, i realized it was not a complete translation. Far from it, in fact.

    All the phrases i had checked were not yet translated. Seems i was searching in the wrong place.

    Looks like I’ll do some localization tonight.. 🙂

    Thanks for your input though, Rich!
