Change Translations & German Text strings

[Sandro]

Hello Guys

Unfortunately i am not able to change some of the german translations / textstrings in my event calender pro.

Attached I am sending you the printscreens of two Strings/Translations i need to change:
“Veranstaltungen” => “Tanzkurse & Events”
“Veranstaltungskategorie:” => “Kurslevels”

I have allready tried to do it like described here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/how-to-override-plugin-language-files/
But without success :-((

PLEASE Help! Thank you so much!

Thanks for going Pro and welcome to the forums!

I’m sorry you are having this issue. I can help you solve this. Here is what you should do step by step. I assume that you are using PoEdit to edit the translations of the strings and that you are using the German-German language with the de_DE designation.

• Go to your wp-content/translations/plugins folder an remove the following files:
  • the-events-calendar-de_DE.po
  • the-events-calendar-de_DE.mo
• Go to your plugin folder wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lang/ and download the following 2 files to your PC:
  • the-events-calendar-de_DE.po
  • the-events-calendar.pot
• Open the-events-calendar-de_DE.po with PoEdit
• Go to Catalog > Update from POT file … and choose the the-events-calendar.pot
  This should update all the source strings, in case they wouldn’t be updated.
• Look for the English string “Events” with the German translation “Veranstaltungen” and change the translation to your liking (screenshot)
• Look for the English string “%s Category” with the German translation “%skategorien” (screenshot)
  • Here you will need to totally change your translation. “%s” includes whatever you named your events. But since you don’t want that, then simply enter “Kurslevels” for both singular and plural translation.
• Save the file. This should automatically generate a the-events-calendar-de_DE.mo file in the same folder
• Upload the the-events-calendar-de_DE.po and the-events-calendar-de_DE.mo file to your server in the wp-content/languages/plugins folder

This should be it, I hope the instructions are clear to follow.

Please note that you might need to change some other strings as well for some other views.

Let me know how this works out.

Grüsse

Andras
