Simple Membership in German language

Hi,

Now a WordPress installation still had the English language stored when I installed the plugin Simple Membership. When I changed WordPress to German, the plugin remained in English.

Currently the German translation is not completed. You can check the following link to learn more.

You will need to translate the remaining strings into German. The following instructions can help you further.

Thank you.

Thanks for the quick reply! I already tried to translate via this tutorial, the German words are included in the language file, but then the plugin does not make the switch to German automatically and I do not know why that does not happen. All other plugins on this site have switched to German after I also switched WordPress from English to German.

Please try the following. Disable and delete Simple Membership plugin. Then install a fresh new copy. If this does not help, can you carry out the following troubleshooting steps.

Let me know what happens.

Kind regards.

I have uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled it again, unfortunately without success. The German translations do not appear. Also deactivating the other plugins for tests resulted in no success.

What version of WordPress is running in your sites? Have you also tried the following documentation?

Kind regards.

I have installed the latest version of WordPress 6.1.1 and the translation with the plugin Loco translate I have also done, unfortunately without success. The problem is not the translation, because the file simple-membership-de_DE.po is present and contains all the German translations, but the plugin does not make the connection to this file. The plugin itself in the dashboard with all menue and settings is also in german language, but the language on the website e.g. Username or Email comes in german language.

Hi,

but the language on the website e.g. Username or Email comes in german language.

Are you saying the fields above are in English and not in German. Is this correct?

Kind regards.

yes of course, sorry, I wrote it wrong.
For example the words “username or email”, “account”, “logged in as” appear on the website in English instead of German, although the words are correctly present in German in the translation file.

Thank you for providing more information. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this issue using the Spanish language files. I have submitted a message to the developers to investigate further your issue.

Kind regards.

This install maybe using a variation of the German language that our plugin doesn’t have a translation for. Is this site using one of the Sub German languages that we don’t have a translation yet? Is this site using a multi-lingual plugin?

For me the German language works fine with the plugin. I tested by doing the following:

• Went to the “General” settings menu of WordPress
• Selected ‘Deutsch’ from the “Site Language” dropdown option and saved the settings
• Went to the Login page of the plugin. It showed the German text there.

You are right. My WordPress installation has used a variant of the German language and that is “Deutsch(Sie)”. Now I changed the language to “German” and the translation of the Simple Member ship works perfectly! Thank you very much for your very dedicated and super good support!

kind regards and thanks a lot

We are glad to know that your issue is resolved ??

Enjoy the plugin.

To change the Simple Membership plugin’s language to German, you need to ensure that the plugin has language files available in German and then set the WordPress installation to use the German language. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieving this:

1. Check for German Language Files: Verify that the Simple Membership plugin has a German language translation file available. Usually, popular plugins have translations, but it’s essential to check for this.
2. Update WordPress Language: Ensure that your WordPress installation is set to use the German language. To do this, follow these steps:a. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard. b. Navigate to “Settings” and then “General.” c. Look for the “Site Language” option. Choose “German” from the drop-down menu. d. Save the changes.
3. Verify Plugin Language: After updating the WordPress language, check if the Simple Membership plugin automatically switched to German. If the plugin has a translation available, it should now be displayed in German.
4. Manually Load Translation File (if necessary): If the plugin did not switch to German automatically or there’s no translation available, you can try manually loading the German language file. Here’s how:a. First, make sure you have the Simple Membership plugin’s German translation file (typically a .mo file). If you don’t have one, you can search for a translation or create one using tools like “Poedit.” b. Access your website files via FTP or a file manager provided by your hosting service. c. Go to the WordPress plugin directory, usually located at /wp-content/plugins/simple-membership/. d. Inside the plugin folder, look for a sub-folder called “languages.” If it doesn’t exist, create one. e. Upload the German translation file (e.g., simple-membership-de_DE.mo) to the “languages” folder you just created. f. Now, refresh your website and check if the plugin is displaying in German.
5. Change Language Constants (if applicable): Some plugins use language constants that can be defined in the wp-config.php file to force a specific language. Make sure there are no language constants set specifically for the Simple Membership plugin in your wp-config.php. If there are, remove or update them to use the German language.

By following these steps, you should be able to switch the Simple Membership plugin to German along with your WordPress installation. Remember to ensure you have the necessary German translation files for the plugin to display correctly.
