That makes perfect sense!

Thanks.

Additional question:

So my recommended procedure would be:

Pick the latest versions of the last 2 from GlotPress
Modify them to your liking
Put them in wp-content/languages/plugins/
Remove the copies of the dutch translation found in wp-content/plugins/events-calendar/lang/ and in wp-content/plugins/events-calender-pro/lang/

Do I have to give them the same name as the current files in those folder have? When I export the latest version from GlotPress they are named wp-plugins-the-events-calendar-stable-nl.po and wp-plugins-the-events-calendar-stable-nl.po

Well,

Simply adding the code won’t do it for me. (I’m quite of o nitwit when it comes to coding). The only thing that happens, when I copy and paste the given code is that all translation will go back to English. And I seriously doubt that it will do the trick as this Venue(s) is all over the place.

So the alternative would be translating the language files. But when I went to the Glotpress site I got lost again. So I think the only thing I can do is use the ones you mentioned, change them and put them in the right folder (and get rid of the other ones).

Hopefully this will work, if not I give up and tell my customer the Plugin provides a lot of functionality, but this is a step too far. Lost in Translation.

cheers

Hi,

So it looks easy, and is, all I have to do is ‘Add the code in and save the file on your server’

My question is: what code?

About the language files:

If I go to the folder where the website is, I can find a lot of language files for the Plugin. Can you tell me exactly which ones I have to ‘re-translate’ and where I have to store them?

Language files can be found in:
wp-content/languages/the-events-calender-nl_NL.po
wp-content/languages/plugins/the-events-calender-nl_NL.po
wp-content/plugins/events-calender-pro/lang/the-events-calender-pro-nl_NL.po
wp-content/plugins/events-calender/lang/the-events-calender-nl_NL.po

Do I have to pick the last two, change them and upload them in wp-content/languages/plugins?

Hi,

Here’s my response to your questions.

I did change one of the language files (I think it was the one in the wp-content/plugins/the-event-calendar/lang folder), just changed the single term/phrase (don’t know how you call it) that said Location. It changed on the event page, I think it’s the single event page where all details are at the bottom.
But when I hit the page where alle locations are, it was empty. That page is filled with the Pro-Widget that shows all events on a location. (its this one: http://www.theatercolleges.nl/theaters/)

At that point I realised that I had to translate all, including all sentences where the phrase location is, which is quite a lot. But I didn’t dare to, as I wasn’t sure if this would work out.

I’m not a develop-genius and thought I might ask first before doing so. But if translating all language files (and they are all over the place in this particular case) will do the trick for me, I will do so. But I have to be sure that will do the trick for me (and have to implement these language files into the child theme too).

Your suggestion about the snippet, like your collegue did, is a bit too difficult for me. But maybe you can point me in the right direction?

I have suggested my idea into your user-voice forum. Hopefully this can help me and others.

Thanks for your support, hope we can sort this out.

No, I don’t want to use another Plugin to get things straight. The more plugins, the more trouble, especially when WP has another version installed.

I thought this page on your knowledge base was really helpful, but it didn’t work out as I use a different language. But I can’t believe that just changing all language files will help me.

And I don’t want to take any risks as I don’t know if I have to follow the instructions on that page AND change all language files (in about three different locations).

The result of this will be that I have to change all different files over and over every time you guys update the plugin (and the pro version). I’m not only talking about this issue, but there are more. Please check my other tickets.

[Marcel Stephan]

First of all, this seems to be a problem which isn’t caused by translation. I just wanted to point you on a problem which more user could experience.

Secondly, there are more translations not really like they should be, but that could also be my personal taste or interpretation.

If other Dutch are already participating in this, I’m quite sure they have another opinion.

And no, your plugin and all the extra effort I had to put in to get it right, had cost me too many hours already. Project still isn’t finished because of that. There’s no time left for voluntarily contributions.

[Marcel Stephan]

Really strange to buy a Plugin which needs so much work from my site. Why don’t you offer the possibility to show a button instead of this link? I’m pretty sure lots of users prefer that option over a an ugly link.

Same problem occurs when I enter a link in the venue/location and/or a link at the organization part…

[Marcel Stephan]

Hi,

I’m using Dutch language. Don’t think it’s caused by templates in the theme, as the ‘Single Event’ php file is part of your plugin and isn’t part of the theme (Galanight) I suppose.

The phrase isn’t in any of the .mo language files, I had to change it in the php file. Had this problem before in certain php files. At that time I had to wait until the latest changes and updates in your plugin.

[Marcel Stephan]

Thanks,

Glad to see all info is back and works out fine.

Really frustrating to change all this every single time you guys update the Plugin. Is there a way around? I don’t think I can simply copy & replace functions.php and details.php, cause these would be just the ones you have changed for the updates I suppose?

[Marcel Stephan]

That’s great! I’ve got it working now.

While we’re on the subject, I want visitors who visit the link/button to do so in a new screen/tab (target=”_blank”). Can you tell me, and maybe add it to that page, how this is done?
