Howdy Mao,

Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us. I’ll try to help you out on this!

From what I’m seeing in the WordPress translate site for The Events Calendar -https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/the-events-calendar/stable-, vietnamese has no translated string. Also the translation for Events Calendar PRO -http://translations.theeventscalendar.com/projects/tribe-events-calendar-pro/- has not been created yet.

I’m curious about the “the-events-calendar-vi_VN.po” , I don’t see it included in plugin directory. Did you add it manually?

Please let me know about it,
Have a great weekend,
Nico

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I created vietnamese language file from .pot file and translate it, and then i put the translated file to this folder “…/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lang”. When i use free version everything ok. But when i upgrading to pro veserion it does not work.
This is my site: http://demo.wellspring.edu.vn/events
Folder lang: http://demo.wellspring.edu.vn/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshoot1.png
I have translate some text i need to vietnamese: http://demo.wellspring.edu.vn/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/screenshoot2.png
Sorry because my english is poor.

Hi Mao,

Thanks for following up on this!

First of all let me say that the correct way to add this new translation would be via the translation sites. This way the /lang/ folder won’t be overwritten when you update the plugin and also the community can benefit from it / contribute to it as well. This is the only supported method for translations.

Translation sites
– The Events Calendar Core: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/the-events-calendar/stable
– Events Calendar PRO: http://translations.theeventscalendar.com/projects/tribe-events-calendar-pro/ -let me know if you are going to add the translation here so I can enable the Vietnamese language for you to do so.

Useful links
– Translating The Events Calendar
– Adding or updating a translation

I guess this is not working correctly with PRO as it also has it own translation files under ‘/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/lang/’, which you should update as well. But again, the only supported way of using translations is via the translation sites above listed.

Please let me know about this,
Best,
Nico
