Good evening Max and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

I highly recommend reading the 3 following articles on translation:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/translating-the-events-calendar/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/how-to-override-plugin-language-files/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/incomplete-translations/

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.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Hello,

1. my translation is up to date
2. I don’t have custom translation
3. what do you mean “fuzzy” or “unfuzzy”?

Also I have found out that not translated words are existed in plugins/the-events-calendar/lang/the-events-calendar-ru_RU.po
And I haven’t found these words in other ru PO files of the website.

Also here is my files of these folders
/wp-content/languages/: http://prntscr.com/hq8lci
/wp-content/languages/plugins/: http://prntscr.com/hq8kv9

Please help, I don’t know what is wrong. It should be translated.

Good evening Max,

Thank you for taking the time to write back.

2. I don’t have custom translation

Actually you do, but for German (based on your screenshot), not Russian.

3. what do you mean “fuzzy” or “unfuzzy”?

The fuzzy/unfuzzy concept is about the validity of a string. If a string is considered potentially not accurate, it is marked “fuzzy”.

What file of event plugin should I edit in PO editor?

Also I have found out that not translated words are existed in plugins/the-events-calendar/lang/the-events-calendar-ru_RU.po

I would highly recommend ditching that plugin in favor of Poedit (which is far more complete and reliable – also it is free): https://poedit.net/

In your case, some of the strings are located in /plugins/the-events-calendar/lang/ while others are located in /plugins/events-calendar-pro/lang/

In both cases, if you look at http://translations.theeventscalendar.com/projects/, you will notice that the translations for Russian are not fully complete (62% for our free plugin and 45% for our Pro plugin). That most likely means that you will need to complete some of these strings using one of the articles previously shared).

In fact, we will gladly provide a free license to our translation contributors.

Finally, while looking at your system information, I notice that you are using QtranslateX.
Please note that we do not offer official compatibility with that plugin.

If you are looking for a multilingual website, your best bet is WPML (most advanced compatibility yet). Polylang also offers some compatibility, but not for Pro.

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.
