Hi, after i added new po and mo file to the plugin file directory, will it be deleted after an update? if so, how can i aviod the po and mo files being deleted?
thanks!
Hi @pyue6299
you can paste the .mo and .po files in the following update safe directory
wp-content / languages / plugins
Hi @pyue6299,
These two files should be located in /wp-content/languages/plugins/ directory or better use Loco Translate plugin to relocate the translation files in a safe directory, e.g. in /wp-content/languages/loco/plugins/. Please make sure the po/mo files have wpforo- prefix, without this prefix you’ll they’ll not be processed.
More info here: https://wpforo.com/docs/root/translation/translate-using-pot-file/
I have translated wpforo & wpforo_poll with satisfactory result and saved the files to Langauge > Plugin to aviod file deletion while on updates.
I am translating wpforo_Attach and added to the same directories. But the translation does not take into effect. I then insert the files directly to the pugin folder, also not working.
Please advise.
Thanks!
But the translation does not take into effect. I then insert the files directly to the pugin folder, also not working.
in which language do you translate
are you using the correct prefix for your language?
Example for German
wpforo_attach-de_DE.mo
wpforo_attach-de_DE.po
@tutrix Traditional Chinese. Please see the file name in the attached image:
wpforo_attach-zh_TW.mo
wpforo_attach-zh_TW.po
sorry I don't know why the translation doesn't work for you
try using Loco Translate as suggested by Alvina
or with Quick Translation – Phrases
i tried both the Loco and Quick Translation plugin. None have helped. And i discovered one thing, your wpforo advanced attachment just does not detect the change of language. All my other wpforo extension can change different language but just your advanced attachment. See the attached screenshot for further details. The extension just can't detect any change on language.
I tried to amend My Media in Forums > Settings > Addons > Attachments > Front-end Phrases, but after i clicked SAVE and refresh the page, the amendment does not update and get reflected.
Please advise.
Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features Tab and disable the Options Cache option. Then try changing the attachments settings again.
