Translation when used in a theme

[anou]

Hello, I'm using your framework in a theme but I can not get my string to get translated. I include my metaboxes file after theme_setup() but without any luck on getting my strings translated.

If I use default metaboxes action add_action('add_meta_boxes',... everything gets translated.

Any idea on what I'm missing will be much appreciated ;-) Thx

I tried with multilang => true and without (it is false by default) with no success

[JoeSz]

Hi, I will take a closer look in the weekend. multilang => true has no affect in metabox, this is for options. multilang => true is to translate values. Use this option if you want a different text in textarea, input, etc... for different languages. In page/post/other cpt, WPML and other does this automatically.

[JoeSz]

Ok. I forgot to load the textdomain. I updated. Can you try again?

[anou]

What you did is to load_textdomain() for the translation of your framework? I'll be happy to do it for you 😃 But my problem is to translate my custom configuration in my theme. So maybe it is not related with your framework but with the way code is loaded in wordpres?

[anou]

It is like my custom config does not know the website is in french...

[anou]

Found it! 😄 I was require_once outside of add_action('after_setup_theme', 'my_theme_setup'); so the config did know about the textdomain I imagine.

Once I included the required files inside the theme set-up every thing got translated.

[JoeSz]

So this issue is solved :) Thank you for the info. I also plan to use the framework in my next theme. (I didnt use it or try it with a theme before)
