Language issues

[suesmadewithlove]

Hi,

I have some trouble using the Atelier theme in German. For example the parts of the menu, like the cart or the product review section is still in English.

All plugins are translated, like you explained here: http://www.swiftideas.com/forums/topic/translation-problems-2/.

By changing the theme to the wordpress default theme 2015, it appeared, that all translations are correct. So my conclusion is, the theme overwrites the plugin languages.

So I tried to add the German language files to my child theme folder, like you explained here: http://swiftideas.com/documentation/2014/05/26/translation/
However northing happened.

I uncommented the part in the atelier child theme functions.php as you described in the file:

/* LOAD THEME LANGUAGE
================================================== */
/*
* You can uncomment the line below to include your own translations
* into your child theme, simply create a “language” folder and add your po/mo files
*/

//load_theme_textdomain(‘swiftframework’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri().’/language’);

Nothing happend.

I followed the instructions here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Internationalization

It is still there, the uncompleted translation.

So do you have any suggestions, what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance, Michael

Hi,

It seems you have everything right. Will need to investigate this further for that will need admin credentials to WordPress and also FTP to check your translation files and their permissions.

Hi suesmadewithlove

The reason why the original translations you have don’t work in our theme is because we have overridden the plugin template files – so we have to put the translation in our theme language file.

The easiest way to ensure you don’t lose your translations with each update is to provide us with the translation file, so that we can include it with the next update. Would you be happy to do that?

– Ed

Same problem here. I’d like to overwrite the themes language but it just won’t work. And it’s not the files. It works once i replace the original ones.

/* LOAD THEME LANGUAGE
================================================== */
/*
* You can uncomment the line below to include your own translations
* into your child theme, simply create a “language” folder and add your po/mo files
*/

load_theme_textdomain(‘swiftframework’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri().’/language’);

@maratino – that code is for you child theme, have you activated the child theme and then added your language file to the child theme folder /language/?

For instuctions on how to edit the translation strings, please read this: http://www.swiftideas.com/knowledgebase/translating-the-theme-using-poedit/.

Thanks.

Hi

I have the same problem here… how to solve it?

I have a network installation and I’m working on a child theme

I add this function to my functions.php on child theme

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'sf_child_theme_setup' );
function sf_child_theme_setup() {
    load_child_theme_textdomain( 'swift-framework', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/language' );
}

I uploaded .po .mo files on /mychild/language/it_IT .po .mo but they won’t be loaded from translation.

regards
Marco

I need you to let me know what texts are not translating.
