translation

Yes, you can do it with WPML ??

any free plugins in place of WPML (I tried loco and polylang unsuccessfully)

See here on how to translate things:

https://wpjobmanager.com/document/translating-wp-job-manager/

If you run into trouble, let me know!

hallo,
thnx for trying to help.

Yet,I still face the problem
for which I posted.

I tried loco-translate,polylang,saywhat and poedit.
I only want to translate twenty strings in greek.
The ones that constitute the labels in the
joblisting.submit form

For example I never found :”contact email” on any
of the solutions.
It should be something very simple.can’t you try
on any of the solutions to verify translation works?

and then, plz, help me out of this situation

I could not translate the form using poedit…

However, the loco translate seems now more promising.
The problem was that some strings are created from the theme and some from the wp-job-manager plugin!
I was only disappointed not finding half of the strings.

Using loco I added a language(greek) and translated the strings that appear in the form.
.po and .mo have been created.

Now, what?Loco says it’s up to the them\plugin to merge the strings into pages\templates
How do I switch to the new language(which actually consists of only a dozen of strings + error messages possibly)

thanx for all the help guys.
but I still need that clarification.(reading the whole documentation of loco is counter-productive for that scale of task)
plz help

found it! I found all strings with loco. Then I changed the wordpress settings language.
What confused me was that strings were spread among themes , plugins and wordpress itself.

is there another way?maybe to switch languages for the whole site as a user?

Hi @savvaskef1978! That’s how WordPress works, though: string can be anywhere (WordPress itself, the theme, the plugins). So, I’m not sure what your question is, really. If you were to set your site to Greek, it’s still possible that not all strings will be translated; it depends on the theme and the plugin.
