how to change cardinal theme language?

[Wished087]

hello guys, i already read the documentation, i just did everything, but somethings like this… in the portfolio in the demo PERSONAL 1, “share this” client, and date, are still in english, my native language is spanish and i only need to change that, i could do it via html or css, but i cant find the source… can anyone explain me how to change it? thank you.

Hi

You’d need to edit the /language/en_US.po file within the theme files. There you will find the strings and you can save the file – then you just need to upload the .po & .mo file. We’d recommend software such as POEdit for this. Alternatively, you could use the qTranslate WordPress plugin, and do this all through WordPress.

Hope that helps.

man i edited the en_US.po file, but nothing happens, i write the translation, and even i found a lot of other po files, even spanish, i dont know how to make this work…. how i activate the spanish language? inside the language folder there is already more languages, i dont understand…

i already edited de wp-config.php and i set the es_ES language! and i dont know why it translate ..

Hi @Wished087,

The other translations included are all 50%~ complete, so there may be a few translations missing.

Have you tried using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate/ ? Not sure where you are going wrong with your setup (it definitely is all 100% working)

Check here – http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Default-Language-in-Wordpress . You need to check step 3 + 4.

Then you can edit the es_ES.po file in /cardinal/language – and translate the strings there.

Yo tengo el mismo problema y no lo puedo solucionar. Las partes del theme de woocommerce o que funcionan con el swift framework no cambian el idioma. La única manera es modificando los archivos php del theme, pero se pierden estas modificaciones cuando se actualiza el theme.

I have the same problem and I can’t solve it. Woocommerce or swift-framework related translations are usually not working. The only way to make it happen is by modifying php theme files, but I lose these modifications when theme is updated.

Hi,

Can you provide us a couple examples of what you can’t translate. Probably it’s words from Woocommerce.
Did you translate Woocommerce?

– Rui

[fmicozzi]

Woocommerce is already translated.

Look at the attachments:

Example 1: 0 items in the cart (english), Unfortunately… (english), Ir a la tienda (spanish)

Example 2: Everything in spanish, except Related Products and Share This

Example 3: 1 artículo (spanish) in the cart (english) / View Cart (english) / Pasar por caja (spanish)

I know all these examples in english are translated in the theme’s translation, but they won’t appear in spanish. You have to change php files to reflect changes.

Hi,

You should find inside the default es_ES.po of the theme this lines bellow

msgid “Unfortunately, your cart is empty.”
msgstr “Desafortunadamente su cesta de compra está vacía.”

msgid “0 items in the cart”
msgstr “0 productos”

msgid “Share this”
msgstr “Compartir”

msgid “Related Products”
msgstr “Productos relacionados”

msgid “View cart”
msgstr “Ver Carrito →”

can you try to place the original es_ES files to see if works.

Also check if you any unnecessary translation plugin active.

well, this really sucks, and sorry for the bad word, but im tired, i check the PO and they have already the strings translated, i dont know what is happening, i think its an issue of the theme, can u please tell me how to remove the share this button? because im really tired of trying to change that!

Hi @Wished087,

There is nothing wrong with the theme in regards to this, it’s just likely that something is wrong with what you are doing. The theme is 100% translation ready, you just need to translate the strings and upload the file. Are you using POEdit? You can remove the button with this custom css:

.article-share {
display: none!important;
}

I have the exact same issue.

Already tried POEdit and stuff, nothing happens

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

Hi @mike3run

I think from your previous threads that your website was already in Spanish.
Can you tell us exactly what you can’t translate?

-Rui

[mike3run]

I can’t translate that exact same string “Share It” on the products and portfolio pages.

Also on the portfolio filter it says “Show All” it should be in spanish, i tried POEdit already and no luck.
