Translation: PO and MO files are getting overwritten every day

[Reinhard]

Dear Support Team,

As the bug described in https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/po-key-missing-german-translation/ is not yet fixed we want to manually fix the problem by uploading modified PO and MO files to /wp-content/languages/plugins/

Uploading fixed PO/MO files help – but only for a day until whatever process is overwriting the file with the original buggy PO file. This process is not a problem of our server configuration. PO/MO files from other plugins remain untouched.

How can we sustainably change this PO file?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Grüss dich Reinhard,

Thanks for reaching out!

I checked your other thread, we are aware of that issue, it was flagged to us not long ago. There is already a ticket to get that string fixed / separated.

Until then to disable automatic updates for translations, paste this into your functions.php file:

add_filter( 'auto_update_translation', '__return_false' );

You can find more info about this here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates

Also they recommend that the best place to put these filters is in a must-use plugin.

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
Andras

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
