Change Language

[Jorge Rios]

Hi, I just got the plugin of community events, and it happens that my site is in Spanish, and some of the text and titles are not translated to Spanish, still shows it in English. Where can I config the language or change some of the words that are no properly translated?

thanks

Good afternoon Jorge and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

I highly recommend reading the 3 following articles on translation:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/translating-the-events-calendar/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/how-to-override-plugin-language-files/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/incomplete-translations/

This should help you investigate each of your language files, see what level they are translated at and even “fill in the blanks”.

I am not sure which variation of Spanish you are using, but from what I can tell, Spanish from Spain is currently set at 92% completion.

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Thanks, it happens that if I change the language to another type of Spanish, let’s say Venezuela, it works fine, but the rest of my WordPress looks bad, Is any way that I can just override some words that are missing?

Good evening Jorge,

Thank you for writing back.
That is a great question!

Even though it might seem a bit tedious, the answer lies in the 3 articles I recommended previously.

To complete it, you might want to read the following: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-in-other-languages/

What is going on is that every single variation of Spanish is completely independent from one another when it comes to both WordPress, themes and any plugin that supports translations (like ours).

In other words, Spanish from Spain and Spanish from Venezuela are considered absolutely different languages from a WordPress standpoint.

To override certain words, you can:

1. Follow the instructions here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/how-to-override-plugin-language-files/
2. You could apply the following snippet in the functions.php file of your theme (without the PHP tag at the top): https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/how-to-override-plugin-language-files/

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.
