Can not get language list

And actually they are all in the repository, the plugin is only pulling in the ones that are “tagged” for 3.7.1.

Ok, so one could expect that the plugin will include more updated languages as time goes by. I guess the point in having the plugin is that it keeps track of the WP version developments, thus making it a dynamic tool. I understand from your explanation that it’s an open source project that relies on contributions from people willing to update the translations, it would be more practical if the languages (any update) were all accessible in any plugin version as mentioned in my earlier post. As you also confirm the language differences are not that big between the WP versions after all, so it wouldn’t hurt.

I just did a quick video tutorial on how this all works.

Hope it helps.

Thanks, I appreciate that. The WP interface language has always been a big deal, don’t get why WP haven’t addressed these issues themselves. The plugins that solves these issues are most welcome.

What language do you need? You may be able to find a version of WordPress that has been completely translated for your language. Such as Polish.

Try changing pl. to your language and see if you get a complete version for your language.

I ALWAYS want WP in English for myself but sometimes my clients that I design for needs the admin to be in other languages. When I produce websites for myself I also need them to be localized in Scandinavian languages, but at the same time retain the English WP admin. I use a plugin named Admin in English, that overrides everything I got going in regards to po/mo translations on the server and that is exactly want I want cause it seems almost impossible to localize a WP theme without having to cope with a WP admin language that is the SAME as the localized language. Whenever I changed the WLANG codes it messed up my localization site wide. I went crazy trying to achieve two different languages until I found that plugin. I was hoping with Native Dashboard” that I could do the same if I have clients from different countries, like other European countries. It looks like Native Dashboard may very well be the answer, I’m just depended on it to be up to date with WP versions to avoid having to look for older localization files. I guess I could always preform that task if I really needed it, but one always hope for swifter solutions.

All of these type of translation plugins use the same repository for mo/po files. Which ever one you use will use the same files. It’s what they do with those files and how they use them that is the difference.

There’s another that I use…

This one is more for multi-lingual sites. Posts and pages can be written in an language and have that language be set as the default and then it will use Google or Bing to translate those pages to the other languages selected. I know that Google and Bing translations can be real crap sometimes but that plugin also allows for anonymous people to correct those translations.

For what you described WordPress Native Dashboard is your solution. If you want multi-language on the front end then I would suggest Transposh.

If you want to see how Transposh anonymous user correction works you can visit my ESL website. https://nes.pila.pl. Change the language to Polish and you’ll see a check box. Check the box and it’ll allow you to make changes. Most of this site was written in English but about 90% of it’s been corrected by anonymous users.

Thanks for the tip. I always end up ripping my hair out when it comes to localization of the blog language in WP, cause each time I localize with PoEdit and go trough the procedure of adding po/mo files to a site I always end up with some few words in English. Examples: “by:author name” – “comment: number” – “post comment” – and all the month names etc. These words never show in the translation process and they’re not coming from the theme, it’s WP blog language.

You can forget poedit, I made that mistake also.

Here’s another plugin to localize and translate plugins and widgets and just about anything else you need to translate.
