Translation issues

[javierojuel]

While I am rebuilding my website, I am translating the theme to Spanish. I will write here some texts that are not possible to translate so in next versions they will be included. I am using the plugin “Codestyle Localization”.

Text: SHARE THIS
Localization: At the end of every post

Thanks for letting us know, it seems the line number in the .po file is analysed incorrectly – I’ll look into this for the next update.

Thanks,

Just checked this, and works fine on our installs. I’m able to translate just fine using POEdit. What version of the theme are you using?

Hello,

I come back to this thread. Now I am using last version 1.71 of Cardinal. I am using the plugin Codestyle Localization to translate the theme but something is not working.

When I first try to edit the po files, I get the message (see image attached) “Your translation file doesn’t support the multiple textdomains in one translation file extension.
Please re-scan the related source files at the overview page to enable this feature.”

So then, I come back and scan the theme directory with the plugin.

The plugin scan the directory to search .po files and then you can edit them. But I get an error (see image attached) “You do not have the permission to read the file ‘/nas/wp/www/cluster-2588/testalimmenta/wp-content/themes/cardinal/includes/meta-box/lang/es_ES.po’.”

This file does not exist in the directory. It exist the file es.po

If I rename the file to es_ES.po, tha plugin can scan the directories. But when I translate the expresions and then I create the po file, it will save all the translations in wp-content/themes/cardinal/includes/meta-box/lang/es_ES.po

I have translated more then 10 themes using this plugin so I have some experience and I do not know what happens here. Could you please help me with this issue?

I have also tried to use Poedit to translate wp-content/themes/cardinal/language/es_ES.po
But there are some strings that are not translated: see image “strings_not_translated_with_Poedit.png”
Are these strings not correctly read it by the theme?

If you need, I can give you access to my server. Thank you and best regards

Hi,

1. Simply click Rescan if you are using that plugin, http://take.ms/Z54zg it will take all the strings for you to translate.

2. Change the es.po into es_ES.po and make sure there is permission to read that film by the plugin.

3. It should be in the .po files, after rescan you will find it.. ( Just try to open the .po file in the POEdit, and search for the string you will find it )

Let us know,

Thanks,
laranz.

Hello,

this does not work. I have a test site with a clean Cardinal installation. These are the steps I followed:

1. First I try to rescan the file and I get this error

2. Then I rename the file /cardinal/includes/meta-bos/lang/es.po to es_ES.po

3. After this, I rescan the theme. Then I translate some words like “categories” and “share this”.

4. Create the .po file and the .mo file but nothing change. My wp-config file is set the language to es_ES

5. Note the huge .po file generated in /cardinal/includes/meta-bos/lang/

6. Also check where the codestyle localization save the translated file

I can upload a clean backup of the demo site so you can replecate the problem. And also I can give you access to WP and FTP.

Hi,

Yes, pass us the WP and FTP details, in the mean time try this way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xqcxncNmT0 without any plugin for translation, it should really work.

Let us know,

Thanks,

I have been working with language files in themes/cardinal/language

What I see is that there are some strings in en_US.po that are missing in es_es.po

I do not know how to add them. And I do not want to start from scratch with the en_US.po file

Hi @javierojuel

We removed the meta-box lang file in the latest update to prevent that issue.

What strings are missing, or do you mean strings not translated?

– Ed

[javierojuel]

OK. Have you published already this update? Or should I delete the meta box lang directory?

In the themes/cardinal/language/es_ES.po file, there are string missing. For example:

File: es_US.po
Original Text: Share This Line: 1237

This text is not in es_ES.po file

[javierojuel]

I see that you deleted the meta box lang directory.

Now the work flow within the Codestyle Localization plugin works well but I cannot see the frontoffice of my web in Spanish. The cache is off and my computer language is set to Spanish. So I do not know why I don’t see the text translated in Spanish. I have translated strigs like: “Share This”, “Categories”, “Tags”, “0 comments”…

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

Yes, the “Share this” is missing in es_ES.po
Will forward to Ed.

I still cannot translate the missing words, nor with the plugin Codestyle Localization neither with the poedit program.

What should I do? Wait for a future theme update?

Hi,

Let’s just wait for Ed reply, he should be online in the next hours.
Thanks.
