WordPress Dutch(Netherlands) Language

  • I own a website and i want to translate it to Dutch. I installed a simple language plugin to Translate the website into Dutch and i was told to add the concerned language’s .mo file in languages folder in wp-content. How can i search for Nederlands/Dutch’s .mo file? Where can i get that file? Do i only have to add one .mo file or are there multiple files for a language? Please help fast.

    Thanks
    Talha

  • You can grab the language pack from here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/WordPress_in_Your_Language

    You will likely be redirected to the dutch WordPress community site. You can install another language by copying the .mo/.po files in wp-content/languages, or download a complete, fresh WP install only in dutch.

    I already checked that codex page of wordpress. I went into the repository and couldn’t understand which files to download for language. So my question remains, do i only have to upload 1 .mo file for or are there multiple language files needed to work out perfectly?

    To my knowledge, you will need at least 4 files.

    admin-nl_NL.mo
    admin-nl_NL.po
    nl_NL.mo
    nl_NL.po

    I work with WP in french, but my guess is it should be the same in dutch. I can’t help you further since I don’t read dutch, hence I don’t understand a single word of what’s written on the dutch page…

    Ok i have already got the nl_NL.mo and nl_NL.po files. Where can i download the admin files? i cant find them in the repository. Where did you get them?

    Been a while since I downloaded those. Can’t seem to find them on the french WP page neither. I’m pretty sure I’ve downloaded only the language files in the past.

    In any case, what I’d do is I’d download the native dutch WP install and copy all the files that are in the wp-content/languages folder, then edit wp-config.php, around line 79.

    define(‘WPLANG’, ‘en_US’);

    Replace en_US with nl_NL.
