what info link?

and what do you mean add more languages?  do you want to translate your site?  or just make more languages available to users and let them pick?

if the latter, see:  https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/plugins/our-plugins/available-plugins/language-and-theme-selector/

I clicked on further information after clicking getting started through the plugin page, I want to offer french and spanish translation and have no clue how to even set it up

will investigate the link.. we recently moved codex from its own domain to here, so perhaps its out of date…

on the plugin, just install it…  go to http://glotpress.simple-press.com and get whatever translations you want…  put them in proper location in sp-resources/forum-languages (there is core, plguins and themes)…  and all should be well…

be sure to get the theme you have as well as the plugins to get all the translations…

looks like link in plugin file is wrong.. will get the plugin update.. thanks for the heads up…

No worries, I seem to be good at that 🙂

for clarification, I need to download all the files for my theme and plugins for the language I want and put them in that directory?

again from a user perspective, it seems weird that I have to sign up to glotpress to access the files, why does our memberships here just not transfer to there? I have never dealt with a multi-site but just seems strange to me

glotpress is not wordpress… so cant really be here…  plus, users cannot register here without purchasing a subscription, so that wouldnt work…

glotpress folks are working a new version that wont require registration to download…  glotpress is the translation engine for wp, so just logical for us to use it…

so any core translations go in sp-resources/forum-languages/simple-press

any plugin translations go in sp-resources/forum-laguages/sp-plguins

any theme translations go in sp-resources/forum-laguages/sp-plugins

Another suggestion from a user perspective, not sure if possible, but it would be much easier from my end if the first option was language, for example I am trying to find everything for spanish, am working through everything for the spanish po files, would be much simpler if I could just click on spanish and all the files are listed for themes, plugins, etc for that language. Not sure if possible, just some thoughts.

ahh, had no idea. everytime I see press, I think wordpress and thought it was just a extension from here

MP, I am seeing a lot of the french translations are missing, I have several members that are french canadian and fluent in english, if they are willing how can I get them to do the translation?

I think I have all the spanish files, moved them into the directories, I don’t see the option to change language on the bottom, am I missing something?

go back to the plugin page… there is a template tag you need to add to your sp head template file…

sp_UserSelectOptions('tagClass=spCenter spLabelSmall', __sp('Theme:'), __sp('Langauge:'));

or similar

btw… that is an old plugin page and due for an overhaul by @kenwilson our crack codex master…

as to translations… anyone that signs in can up date the translations… its a user community contributed thing… since we dont speak the languages, we cannot do it…

once the translations are there, a language approver must go an approve…  we have a few for most languages, but they dont usually keep coming back… so if you have some folks that complete the translations, let us know their login to glopress and we can make them a translation approver…
