Some translations is missing, but the PO file is ok

[Michele]

I’d like to solve an issue that is driving me crazy!
I’m running an italian website and I have (almost) all the translations working properly. However, there’s a word that I need to be translated, and it’s the “for” in the sentence “Events FOR $month” above the main calendar.

Example in english:
– Events for april

Example in italian:
– Eventi for aprile [it should be “Eventi per aprile” instead]

So, I opened the PO file with a software and I saw this line: %1$s for %2$s
Which should be the right line to translate. However… it’s already translated correctly. It shows this in the translation:

%1$s per %2$s

So, I can’t find the problem. The website is running the latest version of WordPress and the latest version of the plugin. Could you help me? Thanks!

Good afternoon Michele and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

 

Thank you for your interest in our products. It’s truly appreciated.

However, please note that we do not offer support for our free plugin in this premium add-ons forum.

But, the good news is that you are still welcome to consult this forum to your liking and browse it for solutions, snippets and tutorials.

If you don’t mind, in the future could you please post your support questions here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar or perhaps consider the purchase of one of our premium plugins to get access to premium support ?

With that in mind.

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.

Best regards,

Geoff B.
