Translation doesn't work #1

Closed KashTan220 closed 9 years ago

KashTan220 commented 9 years ago

Hi. Thank you for theme. I'm trying to translate some of it, but I have a problem. When I put the 'pl_PL.mo' and 'pl_PL.po' files in the 'wp-starter/language/' folder, translation doesn't work. When the files are in the parent theme folder ('wp-forge/language/'), translation works like it should. I'm translating 'wpforge-en_US.po' file in Poedit. Doesn't it work, because I'm using parent theme language file? But what should I do to make it work? Thanks for your help.

Hi Kash,

All I did was use the following resource when I released WP-Starter: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/load_child_theme_textdomain - I only speak English (well Spanish to but not enough to use it on a site) so I have never really had to use translation files.

I did however do a Google search and found the following resource for you. I think this one may help: http://ronangelo.com/add-language-files-on-a-wordpress-child-theme/ - I believe this may help you. Please let me know if you get this fixed and what you did :sunglasses:

It works! :D All I had to do was to replace load_child_theme_textdomain( 'wpstarter', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/language' ); with load_child_theme_textdomain( 'wpforge', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/language' ); in functions.php. It's confusing because WP Codex says that there has to be "child theme's name", but tutorial provided by you says it has to be "parent theme's name". Anyway it works now. Thank you very much, tsquez :)

AWESOME!...Glad it worked out for you. I'll make the change to WP-Starter as well so no one else runs into this issue.

Glad you like the theme :-)
