Title: Translation not properly functioning Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Translation not properly functioning * Resolved [Gadasoft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gadasoft/) * (@gadasoft) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-not-properly-functioning/) * Bulgarian translation behaves oddly, although the .po and .mo strings seem to be fully translated, some parts appear in a mix of bulgarian / english * Example: * Events for june 2015 appear as Събития **for** юни 2015 * Events in appear as Събития **in** * Export Month’s Events appear as Ескпорт **Month**‘s Събития * This event has passed appears as **This** събитие **has passed.** * Here is a link to the webpage: * [http://bdfbg.torti-sofia.com/events/](http://bdfbg.torti-sofia.com/events/) * Thankful for any advice, as i said the lang files seem translated properly. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [Brook](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brook-tribe/) * (@brook-tribe) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-not-properly-functioning/#post-6283811) * Howdy Gadasoft, * I am happy you posted. 3.10 changed some of the wording around, and so not all translations are fully up-to-date. Would you be interested in helping us complete the Bulgarian one? If we can use your translation we will give you a free license to any of our plugins. More info on how to help us translate: [The Events Calendar: Guide to translating a plugin](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/adding-or-updating-a-translation/) * Cheers! – Brook * Thread Starter [Gadasoft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gadasoft/) * (@gadasoft) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-not-properly-functioning/#post-6283835) * I would absolutely love to help. Further more, the current Bulgarian translation is not necessary the best. * Plugin Contributor [Brian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianjessee/) * (@brianjessee) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-not-properly-functioning/#post-6283849) * Hi thanks for offering to help. * If you follow that link Brook posted it has the steps outlined there. * You can also download the latest translation files from our translation site too. * You may have to rename them as the language file format is currently: * tribe-events-calendar-pro-es.po * But WordPress seems to only recognize: * tribe-events-calendar-es_ES.po * Cheers * Thread Starter [Gadasoft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gadasoft/) * (@gadasoft) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-not-properly-functioning/#post-6283857) * Thank you, already did. Will review and suggest improvements in the coming days. * Plugin Contributor [Brian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianjessee/) * (@brianjessee) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-not-properly-functioning/#post-6283878) * Sounds good thanks. * [pixxies](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixxies/) * (@pixxies) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-not-properly-functioning/#post-6283881) * Hi, * The French translation is very mediocre. I speak French fluently and can translate it if you want? * Could I also have a license for a product if I improve the quality of this translation( which badly needs it!)? * Best wishes, Patrick * Plugin Contributor [Brian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianjessee/) * (@brianjessee) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-not-properly-functioning/#post-6283883) * Hi Patrick, * You can follow the steps here to translate: * [https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/adding-or-updating-a-translation/](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/adding-or-updating-a-translation/) * We do offer free licenses in return for translating the plugin. However, I am not sure how much we require for you to translate in order to get it. * You can post in our Translation forum on our site to get more information. * Thanks * [Aurimas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurjuk/) * (@aurjuk) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-not-properly-functioning/#post-6283989) * Hi, * I would like to offer my help too and would appreciate a license in return 🙂 * I can review Lithuanian translation as current one is really really poor. * These are just several examples (most of them was done by user “tribe” 🙂 ): 1. Translated plugin names word to word – like “Community Events”, which should not be translated as it is name; 2. Punctuation in most cases is terrible; 3. As Lithuanian has like 7 words cases x 2 (singular and plural), wording in most sentences with %s is not thought through; 4. Grammatical mistakes.. * I hope you will look into this and come too me as soon as you can. * Thank you in advance for consideration. * Best regards, * Aurimas * [Barry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barryhughes-1/) * (@barryhughes-1) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-not-properly-functioning/#post-6283991) * Hi there! * You can contribute translations via our new GlotPress site: * [http://translations.theeventscalendar.com/](http://translations.theeventscalendar.com/) * Thanks for helping!
