Use of localization functions within register_taxonomy in functions.php

    Hi

    I’m having an issue where I can’t use my theme’s translation for my custom taxonomies in functions.php. I want to be able to do this:

    function foo() {
 register_taxonomy(
    'genre',
    'post',
    array(
      'labels' => array(
        'name' => __('Genres'),
        'singular_name' => __('Genre')
      ),
      'rewrite' => array('slug' => __('genre')),
      'capabilities' => array(
        'assign_terms' => 'edit_posts',
        'edit_terms' => 'manage_categories'
      )
    )
  );
}
add_action('after_theme_setup', 'foo');

    Where __('Genre') never gets translated in functions.php, but in single.php it works. Maybe I just haven’t found the right hook for the function yet? I’ve tried using init, after_theme_setup, load_textdomain.

    Does anyone know how to make this work, or isn’t it possible?

    I’ve not tried using a custom taxonomy in conjunction with a translation but the first thing that leaps out at me is that you haven’t made the Genre strings translatable – eg:

    'name' => __('Genres', 'textdomain_name')
'singular_name' => __('Genre', 'textdomain_name')

    Oh God, feel like such an idiot now. In my functions.php i had:

    load_theme_textdomain('foo', get_template_directory() . '/languages');
load_child_theme_textdomain('foo', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages');

    Changing it to

    load_theme_textdomain('foo', get_template_directory() . '/languages');
load_child_theme_textdomain('bar', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages');

    And adding the textdomain as a second argument to the _e() and __() functions made it work ('name' => __('Genre', 'bar')).

    Thanks!

    And the after_setup_theme hook didn’t work. I had to use init for the function that calls register_taxonomy().
