translation of the title of the calendar page

[Alexander]

I want to translate calendar page title ‘Events Archive’ for I don’t like how it’s translated into Russian. I searched through the whole wp-content folder and wasn’t able to locate the file where this string is translated.

Could you, please, give me a hint how to locate it?

Thank you.

Hey @Alexander,

To manually use a different string for that translation, you would have to edit the .po file in your plugins. You can find these .po files in the /lang/ folder of the plugins.

So, for example, if you wanted to change it within The Events Calendar, then the file would be this one:

the-events-calendar/lang/the-events-calendar-ru_RU.po

I hope this helps! 😀

Cheers,
George

Thank you George,

I know where the file lives but I am not able to find the string where ‘Archive’ is translated.

Sorry.

Hey Alexander,

No worries, it’s translated in a number of locations in the file and I would recommend using the “find” feature of a code editor; there are many free code editors like Sublime Text if you don’t have one on your computer already.

But then once you have a code editor with a “find” feature, simply search for these terms in the file:

Archive

and:

%s Archive

I recommend this approach because .mo and .po files change quite often, so if I were to list out line-numbers based on my own file it may not be accurate. And this method of searching will work for all future file versions, too 🙂

I hope this helps! If you see the word “Archive” on the front-end on your site and cannot find it in the mo or po files, then can you take a screenshot of this specific place on the front-end? We may have a bug where that specific instance of the word is not translatable, which we can fix in an upcoming release…

Thank you!
George

This is exactly what I did in Sublime. I searched for the string in all *.po files and wasn’t able to locate it. Probably you could tell me the number of the string where ‘%s Archive’ lives?

Thank you

Hmm, really sorry about this @Alexander – if you’ve searched and have replaced everything and issues still persist, then there might be a bug at play here.

Have you done this search and replacement in both The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro? If not, I would recommend this as well to see if that helps.

Thank you so much for your patience with this, @Alexander! I’m sorry about the difficulty in translating this; we’ve got some missing strings that are fixed in the next release and so your current limitation might be a result of these not-yet-fixed bugs.

Thank you,
George
