Translation does not work #763

Hi! Unfortunately, the translation of the plugin does not work. I use TGM in theme. I put class-tgm-plugin-activation.php, plugins.php and language folder in mytheme/tgm/

My functions.php file:

function mytheme_setup(){
  // Theme translation
  load_theme_textdomain('mytheme', get_template_directory() . '/languages');

  // TGM translation
  load_theme_textdomain('tgmpa', get_template_directory() . '/tgm/languages');

  require_once get_template_directory() . '/tgm/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php';
  require_once get_template_directory() . '/tgm/plugins.php';
}

Translation of the theme works properly. I excluded tgm folder from theme translation. Do i have to change something in tgm php files or add some code to functions.php?

Hi! I just had the same problem, I don't know much about "textdomains" but it seems in current versions "load_theme_textdomain" loads language files of the form $lang.'.mo' and not of the form $domain.'-'.$lang.'.mo',

This is the way TGM Plugin has put them in its "/languages" folder. It would be enough to remove "tgmpa-" from the names of the language files.

In case you have not understood, the idea is to change the name of the file from "tgmpa-it_IT.mo" to "it_IT.mo", this has worked for me within a custom WordPress theme 5.4.4

PD: I know I'm 2 years late ouo..., but I think my answer could help other people

EDIT:

hello sorry if I join this issue after so long, but I suppose this issue can be fixed in this way.

You have to change this line if ( false !== strpos( __FILE__, WP_PLUGIN_DIR ) || false !== strpos( __FILE__, WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR ) ) { so if ( false !== strpos( __FILE__, WP_PLUGIN_DIR ) || false !== strpos( __FILE__, WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR ) || false !== strpos( __FILE__, get_template_directory() ) ) {

So we will check if TGM is placed inside the template folder, otherwise translations aren't loaded.

thank you in advance for your time!
