i have a problem.I install stitch theme on wordpress and i want to translate this theme from english to persian.I create fa_IR.mo and fa_IR.po and replace in languages directory of stitch theme.Now add this bottom code to functions.php and header.php :
<?php load_theme_textdomain( 'stitch',get_template_directory().'/languages/fa_IR.mo'); ?>
but my theme still english!!!!Please help me.Where i wrong!!
Thanks alot.
I believe that the stich theme have already included a language file configuration, so you don't have to. BTW, your code should go into functions.php, and the fa_IR.mo part is not needed
All you have to do is, in your wp-config.php, look for this line
define( 'WPLANG', '' );
And change it to
define( 'WPLANG', 'fa_IR' );
This will set your language to persian
Try to use Codestyling Localization - https://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/.
You can check if your po/mo files are in proper location, scan your template/plugins for new words for translation, etc. Very useful.

I have seen many questions and answers but none that fit the bill. So here is my issue.
I have a plugin that I have localized which works fine on it's own when you add
define('WPLANG', 'my-plugin-name-de_DE');
to the wp-config file. But then when someone try's to translate the rest of the wp site it will not show the languange.
What am I missing here? I even tried naming the files I added the the wp-content folder to be the same name as my plugin... for example my-plugin-name-de_DE.po and .mo and no luck.
ANSWER
Ok so in wordpress 4.0 you can now select your language from the settings /general page.
My plugin was localized using the code
function plugin_action_init()
{
// Localization
load_plugin_textdomain('my-plugin-name', false, basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages' );
}
// Add actions
add_action('init', 'plugin_action_init');
Example of a string that would get translated.
_e('Simple text example', 'my-plugin-name');
SO all that needed to be done to get my plugin's and wordpress's translation to work at the same time was to upload the wp language that I want to the wp-content/languages folder. Making sure the file name was simply de_DE.mo and de_DE.po
Such a simple mistake :)
I've created an Arabic website and I am using the zippy theme from MageeWP the things is that I am trying to translate some strings in the theme, but I don't seem to get it working well.
In the theme functions file, there is a specification for the folder location for .PO and .MO files
I created a file ar.mo and put it there, but it still not working, can anybody guide to a clue?
I checked in wp_config.php and indeed the WPLAND is set to ar
I also used the CodeStyling plugin to make the translation, and it didn't work, although the plugin does not problem a .po or .mo files for ONLY ar.
Additionally
the source code of the zippy theme is here: http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/zippy/1.0.9/
Looks like the theme is doing it wrong (simplified code):
define( 'ZIPPY_THEME_BASE_URL', get_template_directory_uri() );
$lang = ZIPPY_THEME_BASE_URL. '/lang';
load_theme_textdomain( 'zippy', $lang );
It's passing an URL and it should be a path, change the load_theme_textdomain line to:
load_theme_textdomain( 'zippy', get_template_directory() . '/lang');
I had a look at the Zippy theme. There are a template called en_US.po inside the lang folder. I had a look at that as well.
If you don't have poedit installed, download poedit now and install it on your computer. Now, make a copy of en_US.po and rename it ar.po. Open ar.po with poedit. Now you can do all your translations in this template. When you're done, just click save in poedit. Poedit will automatically create a ar.mo template when your ar.po is saved.
Note, this is just a quick way of doing it, as there are already a language file available that isn't yet translated.
Hope this helps
I install wordpress in english interface.
After that I install theme(alyeska) which translate to Hebrew languege + <html dir="rtl">.
Inside the the theme folder there is lang\alyeska.po
I made some steps to be translation the alyeska.po:
I open the file alyeska.po with Poedit and change onw of the raw and I saved it as he-il.po
I edit the file function.php and add the line <?php load_theme_textdomain('alyeska'); ?> wich I don't know if it is right ('alyeska') or need other value.
I open the file wp-config.php and add the line define ('WPLANG', 'he-il');
The translation theme not working.
What I miss here ?
Many Thx.
try to change this
define ('WPLANG', 'he-il');
to
define ('WPLANG', 'he_IL');
also,
he-il.po
to
he_IL.po
When using gettext in Wordpress to create a bilingual theme, do we have to create one .php file for every page twice (English, French)? For example, header.php, header-fr.php, sidebar.php, sidebar-fr.php, taxonomy-types.php, taxonomy-types-fr.php, etc. Sidebar-fr.php would then use _e('Text to translate', 'domain'). Is there a way to simply keep one copy of all php files and to switch the locale?
Thank you.
Create languages folder inside the theme directory, that's where you save language files, e.g. ar.po (for Arabic).
When writing strings in the code use the following (I usually use English text as the default text, so I won't need to create extra language file, and for each other language create files):
<?php echo __('This is a test','my_theme_name'); ?>
<?php _e('This is a test','my_theme_name'); ?>
in functions.php in the theme folder add the following code to load the language file (please note my_theme_name as given above):
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_theme_setup' );
function my_theme_setup(){
load_theme_textdomain('my_theme_name', get_template_directory() . '/languages');
}
This way you create only one file(header.php, index.php, etc), where strings are easy to translate.
[Note: this answer assumes that you have knowledge in how to create gettext translation files]
I've just built my first plugin for WordPress, and even if it's not a great "code poetry" it works as it should. It's a plugin that transform the default wp gallery using the GalleryView 3.0 jQuery plugin (http://spaceforaname.com/galleryview).
The only thing I'm not able to do is localization.
Localization for this plugin in means translating the admin interface, where someone can configure the jQuery plugin options to change the aspect of the resulting gallery.
I've tried to follow the millions of tutorials present on the web, read a lot of posts about this issue on forums and followed the guidelinees of codex... but still with no luck.
this is what I've done:
every text line is inside a gettext function ( __ and _e )
using poedit I created the .po and .mo file scanning the plugin directory (everything went ok), then i added translations on that file.
I named the .po file like that NAME-OF-THE-PLUGIN-it_IT.po (the .mo file was generated with the same name)
I've put the translations files inside the plugin folder/languages (name of the folder is the same of the plugin and of the translations files)
then I've tried to add the load_plugin_textdomain function inside the main plugin file. I've tried because there's no way to get it working.
The only thing on which I'm not sure is the fact that the plugin I've created is not under a class+constructor functions... just because I'm still not so good in coding.
But I've put the load_plugin_textdomain inside an init add_action, like this:
add_action('init', 'gw_load_translation_file');
function gw_load_translation_file() {
// relative path to WP_PLUGIN_DIR where the translation files will sit:
$plugin_path = dirname(plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) .'/languages' );
load_plugin_textdomain( 'gallery-view-for-wordpress', false, $plugin_path );
}
the lines above are not inside a logic, they are just in the main plugin file, like that.
this is an example of my use of gettext functions:
<h3><?php _e('Panel Options','gallery-view-for-wordpress') ?></h3>
What did I not understand?
My mistake was on language files path declaration.
this fixed:
$plugin_path = dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages/';
this was wrong:
$plugin_path = dirname(plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) .'/languages' );
I was answered on Wordpress Stack Exchange
Contrary to my previous statement, I've succeeded using this filename: gallery-view-for-wp-it_IT.mo
Strange, though - themes use just it_IT.mo.
