Problem with italian translation

[CHARLIEGOLF]

I have translated all the dafault strings of my Lifestyle theme with poedit. I just want to know which name I have to give to the two file .po and .mo Is it right it_IT.po (.mo) or it.po(.mo) or default.po(.mo)? I tried to upload each of those files but I don't see the italian translation of the strings. Tnx in advance

[CHARLIEGOLF]

I have read the tips and I made everthing written in it but my theme still remains in English. I have the it_IT.mo &.po file in languages folder theme but nothing happens.

Looks like it is in Italian to me.

[itsfashionbaby]

Actually I have the same problem with my Danish translation - my url is www.itsfashionbaby.dk

[CHARLIEGOLF]

To me it is not in Italian. just only the posts i wrote. Don't know. I think it's missing something because my question is: how the theme knows to keep the italian .mo instead the default theme of the lifestyle?
Tnx

Yes, you need to add all of the English words that are used within the theme, into your translation files. You can probably download one of the other 2 translation files & take a peek at what they did. You will see what words they translated from english to swedish for example.

I have added all of the English words - I used Poedit to translate everything, and it's still not translated on my page - www.itsfashionbaby.dk

What am I doing wrong?

Where can I download the translation files?

[adew]

Did you create the .po and .mo files with Poedit and upload them to the lifestyle/languages directory?

Yes I did - and I translated all the words using Poedit as well.

The only thing, I can think of, is that I wasn't sure what to name the file, - if it should be da_DK or da_DA - but I don't know, if that even matters?

[adew]

File names should be da_DK.mo and da_DK.po

That's also what I named them - so that's another thing, that can be left out.

I really cannot figure out, where it's gone wrong...

[adew]

What's the location of the files?

It's itsfashionbaby.dk / httpdocs / wp-content / themes / lifestyle_40 / languages

httpdocs is my root directory

Check the file permission settings for /languages

I've just realised you probably don't have the right code in the theme's functions.php. Add this below the opening <?php tag:

function test_localization( $locale ) {
 	return "da_DK";
 }
 add_filter('locale','test_localization');

load_theme_textdomain('studiopress', TEMPLATEPATH.'/languages/');

Don't forget, you also need to be running Wordpress in Danish if you want all Wordpress core stuff in Danish.

I noticed that all the strings should have this structure:

<?php _e("ENGLISH string", 'studiopress'); ?>

or

 __('English string', 'studiopress')

In lifestyle it's not so! Except for few strings lot of them miss the the name theme "studiopress" like this:

<?php _e("ENGLISH string"'); ?>

or

 __('English string')

You have simply add

, 'studiopress'

inside the parentesis. Not all the theme is well formatted for international localization. It's very important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

It is not use to put the other function

[code:1e8mgl6l]<?php _e("ENGLISH words"'); ?> or __('No Responses')[/code]

in which file is this?

[CHARLIEGOLF]

in all the template file header, comments and so on. Go to editor theme and check all the string missing the word studiopress

[adew]

You're right - the texdomain name "studiopress" isn't in the code.

[adew]

@ CHARLIEGOLF,

Can you post your functions.php file? I'm curious about something...

[CHARLIEGOLF]

<?php

		$file = TEMPLATEPATH . '/legacy.comments.php';
	endif;

	return $file;
}

// Turn a category ID to a Name
function cat_id_to_name($id) {
	foreach((array)(get_categories()) as $category) {
    	if ($id == $category->cat_ID) { return $category->cat_name; break; }
	}
}

// include the breadcrumb nav tool
include(TEMPLATEPATH."/tools/breadcrumbs.php");

Thanks. :)

Because in that case, it's not really internationalized...

[adew]

Yes, that's the way to fix it and no, it's not fully internationalised*. I've alerted Brian so that he is aware of the issue.

* To be picky, it is internationalised but the textdomain name isn't in the code. Functions.php is also missing this code:

load_theme_textdomain('studiopress', TEMPLATEPATH.'/languages/');

Thanks to both of you for solving this problem.

Where should this code be added to the functions.php?
And should I still add the other code, you told me previously?

[adew]

Ignore the previous code I told you about (assuming you're not running a multilingual site) and add this just below the opening <?php tag at the top of the file:

load_theme_textdomain('studiopress', TEMPLATEPATH.'/languages/');

It should only take you ten minutes or so to skim through the template files and add the missing "studiopress" textdomain. :)

[imaginateca]

Thank you guys. I had the same problem in Spanish. Now almost everything run smooth.

BTW. Does any of you how to get the date in the head translated too? Is the only thing I couldn't...

[adew]

Hi,

If you're running WP in Spanish the date should be in Spanish. Can you post your URL?

[imaginateca]

Hi Adew,

Actually, what I have seen is that the function date() is not part of Wordpress, but of PHP. So, if your server is running a PHP version in other language different than yours (well, if it is defined in config) and you do not have access to its configuration, you will have the date in the server's language. That is my problem right now.

So, my solution for this have been this:

In header.php, where it says:

<?php echo date("l, F j, Y"); ?></p>

I have deleted that and put instead a script that you can find in some Spanish forums:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
dows = new Array("Domingo","Lunes","Martes","Miércoles","Jueves","Viernes","Sábado");
months = new Array("Enero","Febrero","Marzo","Abril","Mayo","Junio","Julio","Agosto","Septiembre","Octubre","Noviembre","Diciembre");
now = new Date();
dow = now.getDay();
d = now.getDate();
m = now.getMonth();
h = now.getTime();
y = now.getFullYear();
document.write(dows[dow]+", "+d+" de "+months[m]+" de "+y);
</script>
</p>

That is. Now I have the date in a perfect Spanish ;)

Antonio
PD: I will post the URL as soon as the website is online, now I have running it in local (Xampp for Linux)

[adew]

Good work, Antonio! You're absolutely right, of course, we're talking about a standard PHP function not a WP function. Your solution looks good to me. :)

Looking forward to seeing your site when it's up and running.

[audilo]

Just to thanks you guys, used all the stuff here and got my FR translation uploaded and working as well as changed the date!

I used that Spanish script and simply replace the days and months in FR of course, as well as the write format...

Here it is for those who need it ready made:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
dows = new Array("Dimanche","Lundi","Mardi","Mercredi","Jeudi","Vendredi","Samedi");
months = new Array("Janvier","Février","Mars","Avril","Mai","Juin","Juillet","Août","Septembre","Octobre","Novembre","Décembre");
now = new Date();
dow = now.getDay();
d = now.getDate();
m = now.getMonth();
h = now.getTime();
y = now.getFullYear();
document.write(dows[dow]+" "+d+" "+months[m]+"  "+y);
</script>
</p>

On another note, shouldn't you create a repository folder where people could upload their .po and .mo files... Would be good me think...

Vincent

[adew]

Vincent,

Thanks for your post.

I agree - a repository of translations would be an excellent idea, and I'll pass on your suggestion to Brian. :)

[audilo]

Talking about the date translated, just noticed that the coments left on a post are dated as well...
Where would be to file to modify that date format??

edit: same when you click on a category page for example, the posts are listed chronologically, but using English date ...

[adew]

These dates are being output by core WP, therefore if you run WP in fr_FR these will be translated into French.

Translation files can be uploaded here: Theme Translations/Localisations

[itsfashionbaby]

Sorry for being a complete blonde - but I'm not completely sure where to add the missing 'studiopress' in the various files.

Could anyone please post a screendump?

[Brian Gardner]

The best thing to do would be to download the latest version from here as that has been updated with the correct localization code: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2522

[adew]

@ itsfashionbaby,

Glad to hear all is working now. :)

[indignacion]

Hi, I haven't figured out a way to make the Lifestyle theme to display the date in the correct language. I am using the Spanish version of Wordpress, I have translated all of it with poedit (as suggested) and everything is fine except the upper left date stamp.

I can always delete it from the header but I guess it looks kinda' cool there. Is there any way I could have a quick answer about this?

Thanks!

Edit: Oh, and I am using the current version (4.0) of the theme.

[adew]

Hi,

If your server is running PHP in Spanish, these dates will be translated automatically.
