Translation in Greek

[Evangelia]

Hi! I have translated the Community Events plugin in Greek using the .pot file provided with the plugin code, but cannot have it working. My pages still render in English. What should I do? What is the naming convention I should use for the .po and .mo files I created?

Hi Evangelia,

That’s great but sorry to hear the translation is not working. Did you follow the instructions here: https://theeventscalendar.com/faq/can-i-change-the-language-that-the-content-of-my-calendar-appears-in-on-the-site/

I beleive the name of the file should be like:
tribe-community-events-gr_GR.mo
tribe-community-events-gr_GR.po

…and placed in the lang folder inside the community events plugin folder.

Can you verify you have done the above?

[Evangelia]

Hi Jonah,
I have not changed my language in wp-config, what I am doing until now with my theme lang files is translate in Greek, but save them as en_US.po and en_US.mo and it works.
This is what I tried to do with the plugin lang file too i.e. saved the file as tribe-community-events-en_US.mo
tribe-community-events-en_US.po
Sounds weird? You suggest I follow the “official” path with the wp-config, right?

[Jonah]

Hi Evangelia,

Yes, I suggest you follow the official path and the instructions we have outlined in the FAQ.

Cheers,
Jonah

@Evangelina, Community Events 1.0 is not loading the text domain for translations, this is a bug that i already reported, wait for the next version, i am sure the problem will be fixed then.

[Evangelia]

Hi Hector, sorry for the late response, I did not check back the forum after Jonah’s reply.
I digged into the code a bit and found that the textdomain loaded is wrong, it is “tribe-community-events”, while the _ and _e functions are mostly called with the “tribe-events-community” domain (though there are references of tribe-community-events domain too).
I changed all domains to “tribe-events-community” in my code, but the plugin still does not load the translation file…
Should I deactivate and then reactivate it?
Any other ideas?

Hector is correct here, in that this is a known issue that we’re working hard to fix now. We’ll have the patch deployed in our 1.0.1 build, which should be out the first week of June. Thanks for being patient thus far!

[Evangelia]

Hi Rob, I will be patient then and wait for the patch. First week of June is not far 🙂
Thank you very much!

[Rob]

Thank you, for your support and for being patient so far. Let us know what else we can do down the road.
