Pbs with translations in event-tickets-plus

[aafhhl]

1) The following translations files are not complete
event-tickets-plus-fr_FR.mo
event-tickets-plus-fr_FR.po

A lot of front-side messages are not even translated from english.

Then, as french native and english speaker, i translated all messages with poedit
to produce accurate FR translation files for event-tickets-plus

2) But, I have been very disappointed by what I see as being a bug :

As you can see in the code of : event-tickets-plus.php :

$langpath = trailingslashit( basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) ) . ‘lang/’;
load_plugin_textdomain( ‘event-tickets-plus’, false, $langpath );

As a consequence and as checked by me
the language files cannot be located in a WP standard language folder
which should be :
/wp-content/languages

or for custommized files
/wp-content/languages/event-tickets-plus

As a result, I am forced tu upload my po and mo files in :
/wp-content/plugins/event-tickets-plus/lang

But these po and mo files will be overwritten by your next plugin update ….

Can you please fix this point 2 in order we can use our own translation files in a long term stable way ?

Hey @aafhhl,

I’m really sorry for the trouble here!

Unfortunately, every time we update our plugin, the translation files will become outdated to varying degrees because, well, the code changes with each update. So this aspect of your issues is unfortunately something that will remain and issue going forward; it’s just an inherent limitation of translation files.

However, I totally agree with you that we should support /wp-content/languages!

I have made a bug ticket for our developers—if this is something we definitively can support, then we will support it.

I do not have an ETA on when this bug fix would arrive, but I have made a bug ticket and so it’s now something our developers can hopefully address on a maintenance release in the coming weeks or months.

Thank you for making us aware of this!

Sincerely,
George

Hey @aafhhl,

Thanks for your interest in translating! We unfortunately cannot take full language files any more; our premium plugins are now translated on our community-powered translations site here → http://translations.theeventscalendar.com

If you would like to contribute your translations there, you are more than welcome, and we do indeed tend to give discount codes to folks who contribute a lot there (not full licenses, usually, but up to 30% off discount codes).

To learn about this translations site and how it works, how to contribute, etc., we’ve got three knowledgebase articles about it that should help:

• Translating The Events Calendar: http://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/translating-the-events-calendar/

• Translating our premium add-ons: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/adding-or-updating-a-translation/

• Changing the language on your site: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/changing-the-language-on-your-calendar/

Cheers!
George

We’ll do our best to keep you posted when we are able to get a solution in place. Thank you for your patience while we improve and expand our plugins.

Hello!

I’m happy to report that we have been working on this feature for our upcoming 4.2 release. The new features for each of our plugins are currently being tested by our QA team and by our beta testers. Soon we’ll be putting the finishing touches on the code and then shipping the new versions out to our lovely customers.

Thank you for your patience while we worked on this. We appreciate your support! Keep an eye out for version 4.2 coming your way in the coming weeks.

Cheers,
