Problems with a translation

[Jonas]

Hi, I’m building a website and I need to upload advertisements as events. For some reason there is a word that is not translated into Spanish, I probed with “loco translate” but there is no result. Below is an image of the problem.

Good afternoon Jonas and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

When translation file strings are not kicking in, it is usually caused by one of the following things:

1. Your translation files are not up to date
2. You are using some customized translation files that have been placed in the /wp-content/languages/ or /wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder. These might not be updated and will override any other file.
3. The strings are translated, but are considered “fuzzy”

In the first 2 cases, the solution is to update your translation files using the pot file. You can do this by using the Poedit software and heading to Catalog > Update from pot file.

In the last case, you will need to make them “unfuzzy” using Poedit.

For the record, the string in question will look like “%1$s for %2$s”

Best regards,

Geoff B.

Thanks very much!!! Updating pot file with Poedit solved the problem.
