Localizing languages / button text

BP Activity Plus is awesome! We are very reliant upon it to provide our members with a simple way to upload photos and video links.

I would like to change the button text once an image is uploaded. Our users are getting confused when after they upload a photo it says “Add photos”. Makes sense to me, but what can I say.

So…I thought that the most effecient way to do this was to create a custom .po and .mo file in ./languages dir. However unlike the Buddypress plugin, I was unable to find a languages variable that I could define in my functions.php file to point to my new .mo file.

I have modified the language file succesesfully in Buddypress following this post. I created a new .po file in languages, did the translations in POEdit and then saved the file which created both a .po and a .mo file. However the plugin doesn’t seem to know about this new languages file.

I then modified bpfb-default.po using POEdit. When I saved it created a new .mo. Still no change. My last resort was to modify ./lib/class_bpfb_binder.php. This is a sub-optimal approach because I will now have to maintain this file everytime I upgrade the plugin. (Yuck!). Even hard coding the change, I still cannot get the button text to be “Post photos” after stopping/starting my local server, clearing cache, etc.

class_bpfb_binder.php mod:

wp_localize_script('bpfb_interface_script', 'l10nBpfb', array(<br />
			'add_photos' => __('Post photos', 'bpfb'),

Has anyone had success modifying the languages files in this plugin or (worse case) modifying button text?

Thanks!
