Events Language

[solddigital]

Hi There – just wondering if there was any way to change the events calendar language from US English to Australian/UK Engline – eg Organize to organise? Thanks, Sam

Hi solddigital,

Great question! You can change the calendar from US English to Australian or UK English, but you’ll need to do a bit of work to get there. There are two ways you could do this-

The first option is for you do do a translation of The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO for either UK or Australian English. You can read more about that process in our Getting Started thread. This option would be nice because we could incorporate it into our plugins so other folks could use it as well. And this would be a very fast translation since so much of it would be the same.

The second option is to use a string-by-string translation plugin like Say What? which can translate pieces of a plugin. You’d only need to translate the words that are different, like Organizer.

Cheers,
Leah

Hi There,

I am using the Say what plugin because like the previous poster I only really need to change Organizer to Organiser (pretty crucial for my literary event) Now it seems to have updated in most places but not in the Events List widget which is pretty crucial, can you point me towards what text domain is being used here. I have calendar / calendar pro and community installed and I’ve made this change for
tribe-events-calendar
tribe-events-calendar-pro
tribe-events-community
tribe-events-calendar-
tribe_organizer_label_singular
tribe_organizer_label_plural

Am I missing something is their a specific domain for this widget.

Thanks in advance

Hi rxemarketing,

The widget does not have a separate text domain. That string would likely be in the .po file for either The Events Calendar or Events Calendar PRO. If you can’t get it to work via Say What?, you could try finding it and changing it directly within the translation files. However, you’d need to relabel the files (for example as en_GB, or whatever your WordPress language is set to) or risk having your change rewritten when we update the plugins.

Best,

Leah
