Translation not complete

GM Ger Metselaar

I have installed the three language files in the correct directorys.

Unfortunately not all the phrases and words are translated. In profile, the buttons and the welcome text are not translated. Words like Overview, edit profile, edit avatar and so on are still in English. Where can I translate this? I’m familiar with po-editor but still now I see nothing changed. It is also no problem when I need to edit in a php file, but which one?

 

Regards and thanks in advance,

Ger

since the profile tabs and menus are user customizable and definable, they cannot be translated in the normal way…  you can translate them on forum – profiles – profile tabs and menus…

Hello, excuse-me but I would like to know where we can edit the last post hours display.  My “core” + “theme” translation doesn’t include it and I’ve checked, its not on the missing translation..

The string for ‘hours’ is catered for in the Simple:Press core language file. Perhaps it has not been translated yet into your language? possible?

I just checked and this is properly translate on my language (french, .po/.mo files are both correct), I don’t understand as this is the only part of my forums that remains untranslated…

I use my custom theme of cssonly and here is my forums if that can help. Thank you for your quick reply, your support is awesome !

I am running some tests of my own so it will take a couple of hours before I can report back but I will be back…

Screen-Shot-2013-09-10-at-22.02.44.pngThis is what I get when using the current French mo file on my test site. So I guess the fist thing to do would be to make sure your mo file is completely up to date.

And what about other translations from that mo file? Are they all working?

Thank you very much, it did indeed solve my issues… I replaced the files and it worked ! Truely sorry about that, I got confused by the fact it was the only untranslated items in my forum !

Sorry about making you loose time for nothing

It seems Profile Tabs and Menus are changed back to default with every update? So I need to translate every time there is a simple press forum update?

 We don’t do that… Not sure how it would happen… Just ran a quick upgrade test and it did not revert back for me…

Has that occurred on every update?  or just last one?

just to be sure you are talking about customizations made on forum – profiles – menus and tabs?

Ok I did move to a new web host and copied the site and database over so maybe that had something to do with it. Will check the next time I update Simple Press.

yes, absolutely…  the path to the permission forms include the domain (note path vs url) so moving to new server will usually require you to reset the tabs/menus to get them working…  its unfortunate that happens, but its because themes and/or plugins can add tabs or menus and we wont know where they are stored…  we are considering some ways to get around that, but nothing imminent…
