Translation issue

thanks, I have set up a test site like yours and I can replicate the problem you have.

Now I just have to work out why ??

Thank you ??
I hope it will be as easy as possible for you to find a solution ??

Best regards

ok, I have spent nearly 3 hours looking at this problem, and changing code within my plugin to try and identify what is causing the issue, but with no success.

Given that I do not know why loco chooses one file over another (custom vs system) and what stops that happening, I cannot go any further.

What you might want to do to at least have a workaround is to generate your copy, but then delete the original system and copy your custom across to system. That way you have the same file in both places. If bbpress gets updated (and that is rare) it is a simple case to copy your custom back to system to get back to where you were

That is the best I can suggest – sorry

Ok, thank you for your time ??

I will try to find another workaround directly with LocoTranslate to avoid the manual task through time.

Will keep you updated if any idea come up on that topic.

Kind regards

quite happy to help them or you if they need Further info or testing

The author gave me this info :

If it’s requesting a “bbpress” translation?before Loco Translate has loaded, then the?LoadHelper?will not run. This may cause later (well behaved) translation requests to skip the loading stage.

Does that give ideas of what the issue could be ?

Hello Robin,
Hope you and the lambs are good ??

Did you get a chance to have a look to my above answer ?

(The “author” I mentioned above is LocoTranslate Plugin’s author, and he says that if a plugin request bbpress translation earlier than LocoTranslate, it may break the normal translation process).

Kind regards

sorry, completely missed this, let me take a look

ok, so are you able to modify and ftp files? It would be far quicker for you to try something for me, than for me to refamiliarise myself with how to do the tests.

I totally can make a test / replace a source file and tell you the result ??

ok, so go to

wp-content/plugins/bbp-stype-pack/bbp-style-pack.php

copy this file to your computer

go to line 85 and find

function bbp_style_pack_init() {
        load_plugin_textdomain('bbp-style-pack', false, basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages' );
        //load the plugin stuff
        bsp_load_plugin() ;
}

change this to

function bbp_style_pack_init() {
		//load the plugin stuff
		bsp_load_plugin() ;
        load_plugin_textdomain('bbp-style-pack', false, basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages' );
 }

and then upload it back

and see if this makes a difference

Thank you for the code.
I did test the change and the issue persists ??

thanks, you can put it back as it was.

Is it just this phrase that is not working, or is it other ones as well?

Thank YOU for your work !

All bbpress translations have this issue (I focus on this one because I have different kind of notifications for my forum).

Hello Robin,

I come back to you about this translation issue because I am stucked here.
I was hoping deleting the bbpress “system” po file for the translation would force the system to use the “custom” translation file until the next bbpress update (what is rare as you said).

But this system file is actually automatically recreated by wordpress, which makes me loose my translation every time.

Would it be possible to use YOUR translation file again as it was working in the past ?

Best regards ??
