Hi there,

I may have missed something, but I can’t get Simple:Press forum to use the Dutch translation. So, I’ll tell you what I have done, could you please tell me if I’ve done something wrong.

1. I removed Simple:Press version 4, because no one had written anything in the forum (We are still starting up). Last week I had changed the language of the forum (version 4) to Dutch nl_NL without any problem…

2. I installed Simple:Press v5 on our site: http://www.siroc.info/forum

3. I downloaded the sp-nl.mo file from http://glotpress.simple-press.com/projects/simple-press-core/version-50/sp/nl/default (export file as ‘mo’)

4. I renamed the file sp-nl_NL.mo in accordance with the language we have defined in wp-config.php

5. I uploaded the file… Now there was a problem: I tried to upload the file to /problem-with-post-edit-buttonttpdocs/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-language/simple-press/ but access was denied, I didn’t have the write rights in the folder… The folder is in use by user “apache” and I can’t change the rights for this folder. So I went to the backend of the site and under storage locations I changed the language files location to /problem-with-post-edit-buttonttpdocs/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-resources/forum-language/simple-press

5a. I uploaded the file sp-nl_NL.mo to this location.

I would expect this was enough, but …. nope.

 

Can you explain what I’ve done wrong … like I’m a four year old?

 

Thanx,

 

Thomsterdam

Hi there,

I just found out: I had not downloaded the translation file for the THEME!!!!!!!!!!!!, which explains ….

So anyone who gets the same problem: you need the theme translation as much as the forum translation….

Thanx
