All Good Things Must Come To An End

As you all know, I have been doing WordPress plugins and supporting it for the past 6 years. These 6 years of my life, I have been through my polytechnic education, my national service as well as my university education.

I just graduated from university in December 2009 and have been looking for full-time jobs. I am offered a full-time job and will be starting work on 1st February 2010.

I regret to say that I am NOT ABLE to provide support for my plugins anymore due to my full-time job commitment. I will leave this forum open and let the community help one another.

However, I WILL still update my plugins whenever I can and you still can report bugs to me via email and I will try to fix it.

Translating WordPress Plugins
« on: 04 January 2007, 15:16 »
This is a rough guide on how to translate WordPress Plugins using poEdit. I will use WP-Polls as the example here. We will translate it to French.

Step 1
Download poEdit From www.poedit.net/download.php

Step 2
Install poEdit

Step 3 (Step 3 ScreenShot)
Launch poEdit

Step 4 (Step 4 ScreenShot)
Go To 'File -> New catalog from POT file'

Step 5 (Step 5 ScreenShot)
Browse for the file 'wp-polls.pot' which is in your YOUR_WORDPRESS_FOLDER/wp-contents/plugin/wp-polls/
Click 'Open'

Step 6 (Step 6a ScreenShot | Step 6b ScreenShot)
Fill in the following details to the settings:
  • Project name and version: WP-Polls 2.13
  • Team: Fill in your own name
  • Team's email address: Fill in your own email address
  • Language: French
  • Country: FRANCE
  • Charset: utf-8
  • Source code charset: Leave it blank
  • Pural Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n != 1;
Click 'Ok'
Save it as wp-polls-fr_FR.po in YOUR_WORDPRESS_FOLDER/wp-contents/plugin/wp-polls/
Click 'Save'

Step 7 (Step 7 ScreenShot)
Type in the translated string in the small box located at the bottom left hand corner of the screen.
Translate the remaining strings.

Step 8 (Step 8 ScreenShot)
When you are done, click on the 'Save Catalog' button located on the top, it is the second button from the left.

Step 9
Upload wp-polls-fr_FR.po and wp-polls-fr_FR.mo to your site into YOUR_WORDPRESS_FOLDER/wp-contents/plugin/wp-polls/
Just a note, the wp-polls-fr_FR.mo is automatically generated by poEdit, you need the file in order for the translation to work.

Step 10
Make sure that WordPress is already in your own language or the plugin translation will not work.

Shouldn't this be in the WP plugins category as a global announcement? Maybe? spacer

Hmmm, I am thinking of making it a standalone tutorial when I have the time.

Well, can't you always just make a HTML file? I could do that if you want. spacer

Hi GaMerZ 

Quote
Make sure that WordPress is already in your own language or the plugin translation will not work.

Is there really no way to display a translation when the Wordpress Installation is in English?
I just made a nice french translation of UserOnline (with PoEdit), but I don't want a french Wordpress.
Because the french Wordpress is often corrupted.

So now, my translation is online, but the UserOnline plugin stays in english.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks!

It think it's possible: if a language file isn't present, wordpress uses the English 'translation'.  spacer
- change in the config the language code to (something like) fr_FR
- don't place the French translation in wp-includes/languages/
- place the translation of useronline in the useronline folder.

I think it works, but i'm not sure...  spacer spacer
