Translating event calendar page

[Alexandra]

Hello, I don’t find an answer to this problem, I have a page with the whole event calendar but even if some strings are translated to Spanish, other ones aren’t, like “Find events” button, “Search”…

I don’t find either the file that I have to translate with poedit, if I have to do so, because the wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lang folder has all the translations in all languages, including Spanish. I don’t know why isn’t working, if I’m missing some steps.

Also, wordpress is configurated on Spanish, and the language files are es_CR, I don’t know if this could be wrong and it has to be es_ES.

Thank you for your help!

Good evening Alexandra and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

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 how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.
