Ok - a few things:

1. It is not the .po file you require but the .mo - that is the one with the translations in it.
2. I notice (and I just tried) that the file I downloaded for the german language is called 'sp-dv.mo'. This is incorrect and we will look into what is the problem. It should be 'sp-de.mo'. So please change it.
3. Thsi wiki article - http://wiki.simple-press.com/i.....-language/ - explains that you may need to change the file name to match your wp-config setting. Please niote this is the V4 wiki and no longer generally applies to V5 but this article is correct.

I see there are not that many translations made and approved yet...

Could you please give an example? I think one of the points a lot of user for simple:press leave is, that there are not so detailed informations. If there is not, a beginner is afraid to make a mistake.

In this case how must it be set well:

.... For the Simple:Press Forum language file it MUST begin sforum followed by the desired single or double language code with the extension of .mo and all will be well.

You're right and sorry. Ignore the part about 'sforum'.

This is beta/RC software - we are getting the documentation together as quickly as we can but we are not magicians. I believe it does state on the download page that documentation is not yet available.

You need to check your WP_LANG setting in your wp_config.php file. The mo file for the Sp transaltion will end with '-de'. If you WP_LANG setting is 'de_DE' then you need to rename the mo file from '-de' to -de_DE' - they must match.

For example:

From Frontend is it the extractet sp_de.mo to make it to -de_DE.mo ?

And do it for simple-press, simple-themes, simple-plugins is the same?

P.S. i´ll try to translate a lot of the german stuff, if i can find time at weekend.
