Translations / Languages

    We are using WP version 5.2.4–nl_NL on a closed group website (17 users). When creating new notifications, I noticed that fieldlabels, dropdown lists, etcetera are automatically translated to Dutch, but the translations are not always correct.

    I had some problems to find the correct dropdown feature from the translated list as it was not always in relation with the English user guide.

    I’m offering my services to review and adjust these translations (and maybe also the shortcode user guide) to help other Dutch speaking users to better use this plugin.

    Looking forward to your reply

    Hi @pmstudio1,
    Thanks for your message.

    That’s very kind and helpful of you. The translation files in mo and po format are included with the plugin inside the bnfw/languages folder. If you edit those (or create) new ones and send them to me, I’ll make sure they’re included with the next update.

    Thanks!

    Hi Voltronik,

    I’ve downloaded the bnfw-nl_NL.po file and made the necessary modifications ; regenerated the MO file and uploaded both files again to the server.

    Now it seems that not all English text strings are included in the Dutch PO file, resulting in a mix of English and Dutch text strings.

    Where can I find the full list of all English text strings and how can I add them to the PO file and making sure that the translations will show up in the right place ?

    Suggestion : you can add a language selector in the plugin settings screen, so users can select whatever language they feel comfortable with.

    Hi @pmstudio1,
    Thanks for doing that.

    I think you’ll need an application or plugin that can read the plugin and provide an output of the string that are translation friendly.

    Hope this helps.
