hi guys,
This topic is an old one but it might be usefull to others so will answer. Am using WordPress 4.4.2 + WP Tab Widget 1.2.4 and did also ran into translation problem.
Instead of English I did want to see the text in Dutch so did translate the text with PoEdit and created some Dutch language files.
Maybe I’m wrong but did install the translated files to this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/wp-tab-widget/languages/
In that folder are these files: default.mo + default.po but making changes into those files doesn’t seem to be recognized. Did take a peak at a different plugin how it was done and named my Dutch files as “wp-tab-widget-nl_NL.mo” + “wp-tab-widget-nl_NL.po”.
As a result these files are in that folder:
– default.mo
– default.po
– wp-tab-widget-nl_NL.mo
– wp-tab-widget-nl_NL.po
don’t know if the Dutch language files are going to be overwritten in case of an update but things seem to be working for now.
The key part here is that you need to add the name of the plugin (wp-tab-widget)+ language tag (nl_NL in my case).
just to be helpfull..
Greetings,
Blue
