My translation fr_FR is overtaking the default en_US

  • Love this plugin.
    My site is bilingual: French/English
    I have created a French translation. The files are located at:
    wp-content/languages/plugins/better-search-fr_FR.mo
    wp-content/languages/plugins/better-search-fr_FR.po

    When I search in French, I get these French strings:
    Résultats 1 – 3 de 7 Page 1 de 3
    Résultats par page: 10 | 20 | 50 | 100
    Pertinence: 100% Posté le: 2016-12-12
    …

    When I search in English, I still get these French strings:
    Résultats 1 – 3 de 7 Page 1 de 3
    Résultats par page: 10 | 20 | 50 | 100
    Pertinence: 100% Posté le: 2016-12-12
    …

    If I remove the French translations from:
    wp-content/languages/plugins/

    Then… Everything shows in English:
    Results 1 – 3 of 7 Page 1 of 3
    Results per-page: 10 | 20 | 50 | 100
    Relevance: 100% Posted on: 2016-12-12

    I use Loco Translate to work with translations.

    Here’s the Debug information Loco Translate gives me after I removed my fr_FR files (to avoid any possible conflict):

    What is the debug information when you have the French files. Do they always override the English files?
    How are you managing the bilingual install? I think that’s the source of the problem.

    Hi Ajay,

    01. Regarding the debug info…
    Answer: I use Log Viewer (wp-admin/tools.php?page=wp-log-viewer) and it does not output any errors for your plugin. The only debug info I have is the one I posted above:
    …
    Configuration auto-detected from file headers
    WordPress says primary text domain is “better-search”
    Primary domain path declared by author as “/languages”
    1 domain path[s] configured for “better-search” -> [“languages”]
    No template file configured for “better-search”
    Possible non-standard name for “better-search” template at “languages/better-search-en_US.pot”
    …

    02. Do they always override the English files?
    Answer: Yes!

    03. How are you managing the bilingual install?
    Answer: I am managing this translation the same as I do with many other plugins where I don’t have this problem.

    Thanks again for your follow up on this,

    I need to do a bit more testing on this, as I’m not sure why this is happening. Does your debug plugin give a different output for this with and without the French language files?

    Hi Ajay,
    I’ll try to find more debug info when I’m back…
    Thanks again!
