How can I configure Polylang to switch the language for other plugins installed?

    First of all congratulations and thank you for the plugin, it’s a great product.

    I can’t switch the language of the user output of the translated plugins I’ve installed, it stays in English while the rest switches correctly.

    I could configure poylang to switch the translation I made in 3 languages: my theme frontend (Impreza), pages and menus. I have en_GB , es_ES, it_IT.

    I also have installed “membership2” and “mycred” plugin and others that don’t need translation because they don’t output to a user. I translated the front-end messages for each plugin in .mo and .po files with Poedit and placed in the respective plugin/language folder.

    What should I do now? If I simply switch the language, nothing happens automatically (output of the two plugins), I probably should do something more.
    Could you please help me?

    My configuration:
    polylang 1.7.12 latest version
    Permalink settings: Custom – https://localhost/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
    I use a static front page
    Default language: english
    URL modifications: The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks Example: https://localhost/en/my-post/
    Remove /language/ in pretty permalinks Example: https://localhost/en/
    Detect browser language v When the front page is visited, set the language according to the browser preference
    Media v Activate languages and translations for media
    Custom post types v Portfolio Items Activate languages and translations for custom post types.
    Custom taxonomies v Portfolio Categories Activate languages and translations for custom taxonomies.
    the rest unchecked

  • Hi Mario,

    I don’t know if this will help in your case but I recently installed a plugin that essentially created a new post type but I couldn’t see the language options in the editing interface. To solve this I went to Settings->Languages->Settings and found the new option Custom Post Types. I activated polylang for the new plugin I had installed and after that the language picker was available in the editing view.

    I hope this helps.

    Cheers!

    Hi luisten, thank you for helping.
    I already have “Custom post type” checked, the plugin I’m using are not creating posts, maybe that’s why it has no effect.

    But then you say: ” I activated polylang for the new plugin I had installed…” What did you exaclty do to activate polylang for the new plugin? It might be exactly what I’m missing.

    Hi Mario. I just meant that the plugin I used (My Glossar) created a new post type in the admin console, so by marking the checkbox in Custom Post Type it enabled language selection for these.

    Sorry about the confusion.

    Hi Chrysti,

    is there a way I can send you privately the link to the website?

    This is the screnshot to the plugins installed

    In the Account and Registration page there are the mycred and membership 2 plugins labels that I would like to have automatically switched in the selected language. But let’s concentrate only in one plugin translation, let’s say membership2.

    Here’s the account in spanish “mi cuenta” you can see that the plugin membership2 labels are still in English

    This is where I have the .po and .po translated for the plugin.

    Please guide me to what you need I don’t know how to be more specific.

    Could you rename your po/mo as membership2-es_ES.mo instead of membership2_es_ES.mo ?
