Thai Translation not working

  • I have finished translating my website to chinese and korean, they are working just fine. But when I did the same procedure and translated my wordpress and theme to th_TH (thai), it did not work. I have already set my wordpress to use th_TH and sync translations but it still does not translate my theme and wordpress to thai. WordPress Dashboard should be using Thai by now, right? But it isn’t.

    What could possibly be wrong?

    The Loco plugin only generates MO files. It is up to your theme to load them correctly.

    I put together the following guide which may help you:

    I think if you have your language set to “th” and your files are named “th_TH” that might be the issue.

    I am using the same theme and plugins across these 3 subdomains (ch, kr and th) so if I did the process wrong, it should be wrong for cn and kr in the first place.

    In wp-config.php my code is: define(‘WPLANG’, ‘th_TH’); is the issue in here?

    Also, the premium theme I purchased already comes with this plugin as a package, so i believe my theme is already translation-ready and compatible with your plugin.

    Not so, because ko and ch use fully qualified locale codes ko_KR and zh_CN. It appears that WordPress core uses just “th”. This is probably the problem.

    Reference: https://wpcentral.io/internationalization/

    However. You can use “th_TH” if your files are named that way and your WPLANG matches. Loco always uses fully qualified locales, but I will amend the plug so it only uses WordPress’s official codes.

    I tried changing mo, po and wplang to “th” and it still is not working.

    What should I do to resolve this issue then?

    All the advice I have is offered in that guide.
    You will have to debug your site.

    I will fix the plugin to support WordPress’s regionless locale codes, but I can’t help further with your MO loading problem.

    I’ve patched the plugin to provide better support for regionless locale codes.

    Now when selecting “Thai” from the dropdown list for creating new files, the code “th” will be used as per the WordPress core. If you alter the custom text field to add your own regional variation, that will still work.

    This change is currently only in the development version. It will become version 1.4.7 when published to the stable branch. You are welcome to try it out and feed back.

    Did you try the latest version of the plugin? I’d like to mark this issue as resolved if possible.
