Finnish translation?

Hi.

I tried to install Finnish translation, but it told that

“Install failed – or there is no available translation”.

Above it Simple:Press tells that

“Your site language is set to fi – Finnish”.

Is there no Finnish translation or is the error due to wp-config.php, which has

define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fi’);

Regards, Ari

There are some Finnish translation for some components but none look to be complete.
However – I believe the problem lies in trying to access the translation server at the moment. Give me a while to check on that. If we are planning an interim update I should be able to creep in a change for this.

I found the translation site and I’m able to take exports from partial translations -> a quick fix is possible.

What should the name of the .mo file for core part be? I could probably try to transfer it manually to its place.

If you export the mo file from the website then it should already have the correct name. In the caase of Finnish this should be sp-fi.mo with the admin side being spa-fi.mo.

But remember that the bulk of the translations come from the SP theme not the core.

As long as the items have been translated then one good way of checking if the core mo file is working is to run the ‘About’ popup as most of those translations come from the  core.

Worth noting that using WP_LANG in the config file is no longer supported and should be removed. The correct place in WP to now set your language is on the Settings > General panel.

We should have an update to the core (5.7.5.3) coming over the next few days which will fix the URL issue which came about because the site was moved to a new server.
