WPML translated Filter Bar not working

[alix]

Hi there,

I have an issue translating the filter bar options: “Event Category”, “Venues”, “Day”, “City” in french.
I’ve tried to find the answer in the forum but I couldn’t find something that works for me.

I have WPML installed but I cannot find the right strings .

Could you please help?

Thank you

Alix

Hello Alix,

Thanks for using our plugins and for reaching out!

The strings in the filterbar can be translated though the .po language files which you can find in this folder:

wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar-filterbar\lang\

If you would like to translate more strings then you need to open the .po language file of your choice (tribe-events-filter-view-fr_FR.po for French for example) with an application like PoEdit or a WordPress plugin like Loco Translate.

Note, if a .po language file for the required language doesn’t exist, then you will need to create one.

After you open the .po file then first you should update it.

• If using PoEdit, then go to Catalog > Update from POT … > choose the .pot file of the plugin
• If using Loco Translate then open the file and click on the Sync button

This should update your .po file to include all strings in the original language and you can start translating.

If you would like to keep your translations after an update – and why wouldn’t you, right 🙂 – then place the .po and .mo file in wp-content/languages/plugins folder.

I hope this gets you started. Let me know if you need any further help.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras,

Sorry if it took that long before I come back to you, but I tried what you suggested (thank you for the links by the way), but unfortunately I couldn’t find the string in the PO file. However, WPML support helped me with that issu, and I fixed it with their Multilangue Tools plugin.
Here is the link if you would like to take a look, I did the last part at the end of the article:

Thank you for your help
