Title: Translation Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Translation * Resolved [pladame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pladame/) * (@pladame) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/) * Hi, * I intend to use BP registration options, but I fail to make it speak French. I have created bp-registration-options-fr_FR.po and bp-registration-options-fr_FR. mo. They are in the /wp-content/plugins/bp-registration-options/languages. But still not a single French word. * I noticed that the .pot in the /languages directory is called bpregistration_options. pot (no – after bp). Maybe there is a possible flaw here. * Has anyone encountered and solved the problem ? * Best regards Philippe * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-registration-options/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965684) * That very well may be a typo on my part, and I’ll look into fixing it soon. May be a few days though. * [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965776) * While I can’t guarantee it, I did push out 4.1.1 that at least renamed the pot file to match the textdomain. I’m hoping that helps fix this issue of yours, but if it doesn’t let me know and I’ll dig in more extensively. * Thread Starter [pladame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pladame/) * (@pladame) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965777) * The pot file has been renamed all right. The .po and .mo files were subsequently created fine (with “CodeStyling Localization”) but still bp-registration-options stubbornly refuses to speak French 😉 Sorry I can’t help. * [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965778) * I’ll keep prodding it a bit then. * [patloq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patloq/) * (@patloq) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965782) * Hi, I encountered the same issue: my translation didn’t load. Then I added a line at the very end of the ‘bp-registration-options.php’ file with the following code: * `load_plugin_textdomain( 'bp-registration-options', false, 'bp-registration-options/ languages' );` * Now it loads the translation, except from the email messages which don’t display my translation. * By the way, the buttons ‘Reset Messages’ and ‘Save Options’ are not localized. * [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965783) * thanks patloq, i’ll get those two spots fixed and look into getting your working fixes in. * [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965784) * patloq, just checked the code and the buttons are using esc_attr_e(). I’ll run the plugin through poedit soon and make sure it looks for that as well. * [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965785) * And pushed out 4.1.2.

Can anyone confirm that any part of the translating process is working? Or is it all failing? * Thread Starter [pladame](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pladame/) * (@pladame) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965792) * All failing as far as I’m concerned. * [Michael Beckwith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tw2113/) * (@tw2113) * The BenchPresser * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965793) * So. I realize now how much I still need to learn regarding localization of plugins. This article proved very handy. [http://geertdedeckere.be/article/loading-wordpress-language-files-the-right-way](http://geertdedeckere.be/article/loading-wordpress-language-files-the-right-way) * I also need to thank R J for providing some translated files for me to test with. I’m admittedly limited to English, but I try to help others out the best I can with this topic. * Before I push this out to everyone, R J or pladame, would you be kind enough to test a couple manual changes to help verify that they work for someone besides just me. * In the bp-registration-options.php file, change the “plugins_loaded” hook, on line 17, to “init”. Then, move down to line 43 with the load_plugin_textdomain() function, and change it to: * ``` load_plugin_textdomain( 'bp-registration-options', false, basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages/' ); ``` * If you start seeing it translated correctly with your chosen language, then we have success, finally, and I can push up for everyone. * [R J](https://wordpress.org/support/users/r-j-1/) * (@r-j-1) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-88/#post-3965794) * **Michael Beckwith** Yes, it works !
