    Hi,

    I found CV very nice and easy to use and I was able to customize it using CSS but I cannot figure out how to switch it over to another language.

    My site uses pl_PL as frontend locale. I tried to create pl_PL.mo using content-views.po as template but it won’t change anything. Even modifying content-views.po does not change anything either.

    At the moment I only care about “Read more” description at the excerpt end.

    So.. how do I do it?

    Hi,
    Please put these files
    content-views-pl_PL.mo
    content-views-pl_PL.po

    to ‘wp-content\languages\content-views’ directory.

    First you have to download and install Poedit

    Then get content-views.po file from languages directory of CV. It is English language file. Rename it to content-views-pl_PL.po.

    Open file in Poedit and change language in Properties to Polish. Then edit phrases you want to have translated. Save file.

    It saves .po file and creates new one with the same name but .mo extension. It is content-views-pl_PL.mo you need. File content-views-pl_PL.po is for editing only.

    Then you have to upload (both or .mo only) to languages directory. You can upload it to plugin directory but then when plugin is updated, you loose your changes. You can upload it to /wp-contebt/languages/plugins directory and it is safe when upgrading.

    Good luck ??

    Thank you all!

    Hi,
    there is another plugin which works very well even if not updated for 2 years, after manual translations all you have to do is click generate file and it copies automagically.
