Formal German Translation is not working

[Aikaterini Apostolidi]

Hello,
I have wordpress 4.6.1, woocommerce 2.6.8, and plugins Events Tickets, Events tickets Plus, Events Calendar (all 4.3.3) installed.

The language setting for the whole site is “Deutsch(Sie)” which means that the translation files with ending de_DE_formal are used. In the above case, none of the english strings of your plugins is translated in german when displayed.

If I switch the language setting to “Deutsch” from the wordpress settings, then the translated strings are presented in german indeed.

I checked your .po files, and you supply only de_DE.po files. The interesting part of this, is that your translation is actually german formal (you use rather “Sie” than “Du” in the po files)

What should I do in order to:
1. keep the formal german in our whole site
2. use your translation files also?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hallo Aikaterini,

Hey, Thanks for using our plugins and welcome to the forums! Let me help you with your question.

What you can do is simply rename the plugin translation files to have the same “de_DE_formal” ending.

If you want to keep these translations also after plugin updates, then I suggest you place them in the wp-content\languages\plugins\ folder.

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
Andras
