I use it like that now: <pre><code>load_child_theme_textdomain("acamas", STYLESHEETPATH . '/languages'); $locale = get_locale(); $locale_file = STYLESHEETPATH . "/languages/$locale.php"; if ( is_readable( $locale_file ) ) require_once( $locale_file );</code></pre> Now it works perfectly. helgatheviking on "Thematic Child Theme Language" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-child-theme-language#post-26804 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:08:26 +0000 helgatheviking 26804@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ this isn't my strong suit but <pre><code>// Setup the language file add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'pw_child_theme_language' ); function pw_child_theme_language() { // Make theme available for translation // Translations can be filed in the /languages/ directory load_child_theme_textdomain("child-theme-slug", STYLESHEETPATH .

If your function is creating html, then you still use _e(). Sorry there's no PM function that I know of. Could you maybe send me your child theme instead? I'll see if I can troubleshoot.

Please send me the theme somehow, it's my only hope now, because I couldn't find any other thematic child theme with language support. Is there a way to send you a private message on this forum? so I don't post my email here :) Thanks a lot. middlesister on "Thematic Child Theme Language" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-child-theme-language#post-26797 Thu, 03 May 2012 17:25:42 +0000 middlesister 26797@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Heh, I'm sure I could dig it out somewhere if you really need to but it is old and not using the current thematic. Just took a closer look at your translated string. What are you using the <code>sprintf()</code> for? If you just want to echo you can write <pre><code><div class="author_box_author"><?php _e('by', 'aeryn') ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></div></code></pre> <code>__()</code> is for returning the string for a function, <code>_e()</code> is for echoing out into (x)html pages. bogh on "Thematic Child Theme Language" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-child-theme-language#post-26796 Thu, 03 May 2012 17:07:58 +0000 bogh 26796@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ I have modified the thematic's french files and they are working just fine. But I can't make that word translatable. I have tried the hooked code too, but the same answer: nothing happens. I have double checked everything for hours, I have tried with more themes, in many ways, I really don't understand what's wrong. Tried it on localhost and live site too. Is not my PHP code good? With some small modifications to the PHP code, the word does not even show up. The word does show up (*but does not translate) when: <pre><code><?php printf(__('by', 'aeryn')) ?> or <?php sprintf(_e('by', 'aeryn')) ?></code></pre> The word does NOT show up when: <pre><code><?php sprintf(__('by', 'aeryn')) ?></code></pre> So I am not at least sure how I should do my simple php line. Would be possible for you to send me your child theme with language support? middlesister on "Thematic Child Theme Language" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-child-theme-language#post-26795 Thu, 03 May 2012 16:54:56 +0000 middlesister 26795@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ So I gather everything is in french except that single word? I.e. the thematic translation is working but not your child theme's? Double check the CHILDTHEME constant. If you give the path it needs to be the full path to your child theme, like <code>STYLESHEETPATH . '/languages'</code> FWIW, I have used the regular load_theme_textdomain() and it worked for me. What you posted above is doing the same thing, but added to a hook. That is what I meant with my question above. You could try using that, it is a good idea in general to attach things to hooks to ensure they fire when they are supposed to. Just replace your own textdomain and make sure the path points to your languages folder (i.e. <code>'/languages'</code> instead of <code>'/admin/languages'</code>) bogh on "Thematic Child Theme Language" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-child-theme-language#post-26794 Thu, 03 May 2012 16:18:38 +0000 bogh 26794@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Yes, am sure I have defined the WPLANG correctly, because the rest of the theme is translated to french. wp-config.php <pre><code>define('WPLANG', 'fr_FR');</code></pre> I have tried the method with relative paths, but no luck at all. I have also found something on here: <a href="http://support.presswork.me/discussion/175/recommended-way-of-handling-translations/p1" rel="nofollow">http://support.presswork.me/discussion/175/recommended-way-of-handling-translations/p1</a> <pre><code>// Setup the language file add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'pw_child_theme_language' ); function pw_child_theme_language() { // Make theme available for translation // Translations can be filed in the /languages/ directory load_child_theme_textdomain("child-theme-slug", STYLESHEETPATH .

I'm not an expert but it would be logical to use relative paths, so that the string is referred relative to the language file. And just for troubleshooting: you are sure you have defined WP_LANG in your config file? Have you added the code to a hook or is it straight in your functions.php? bogh on "Thematic Child Theme Language" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-child-theme-language#post-26788 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:04:21 +0000 bogh 26788@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ The files from the languages folder: aeryn.pot <pre><code>msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: Aeryn\n" "Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n" "POT-Creation-Date: \n" "PO-Revision-Date: \n" "Last-Translator: Full Name <your@email.com>\n" "Language-Team: \n" "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n" "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" "X-Poedit-SourceCharset: utf-8\n" "X-Poedit-KeywordsList: __;_e\n" "X-Poedit-Basepath: .\n" "X-Poedit-SearchPath-0: c:\\xampp\\htdocs\\development\\wp-content\\themes\\aeryn\n" #: c:\xampp\htdocs\development\wp-content\themes\aeryn/admin/admin-functions.php:367 msgid "by" msgstr ""</code></pre> fr_FR.po <pre><code>msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: Aeryn\n" "Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n" "POT-Creation-Date: \n" "PO-Revision-Date: \n" "Last-Translator: Full Name <your@email.com>\n" "Language-Team: \n" "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n" "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" "X-Poedit-Language: French\n" "X-Poedit-Country: FRANCE\n" "X-Poedit-SourceCharset: utf-8\n" "X-Poedit-KeywordsList: __;_e;_c\n" "X-Poedit-Basepath: .\n" #: c:\xampp\htdocs\development\wp-content\themes\aeryn/admin/admin-functions.php:367 msgid "by" msgstr "du"</code></pre> fr_FR.mo <pre><code>Þ•,<PQtTÉbyProject-Id-Version: Aeryn Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: POT-Creation-Date: PO-Revision-Date: Last-Translator: Full Name <your@email.com> Language-Team: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Poedit-Language: French X-Poedit-Country: FRANCE X-Poedit-SourceCharset: utf-8 X-Poedit-KeywordsList: __;_e;_c X-Poedit-Basepath: . du</code></pre> I have a feeling that the links are wrong, I saw other themes using something like: <pre><code>"X-Poedit-Basepath: .\n" "X-Poedit-SearchPath-0: .\n" "X-Poedit-SearchPath-1: ..\n" #: ../admin/admin-functions.php:367 msgid "by" msgstr ""</code></pre> Thank you :) bogh on "Thematic Child Theme Language" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-child-theme-language#post-26786 Thu, 03 May 2012 13:38:33 +0000 bogh 26786@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Thank you for your reply. As I said above I have POT, PO, MO, in the languages folder. (*aeryn.pot, fr_FR.po and .mo, generated with Poedit ), so I don't really know what I am missing. I will post the content of the pot & po files, maybe I am doing something wrong there. "aeryn" is the name of my thematic child theme. middlesister on "Thematic Child Theme Language" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/thematic-child-theme-language#post-26783 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:15:44 +0000 middlesister 26783@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ The process of adding language support to a child theme is exactly the same as for any regular theme. The parent theme will not be affected by your child theme textdomain. You seem to be doing the right thing. My only question is if/how you have generated the POT file. I think that Poedit can do this (but I don't remember exactly how). Basically, every time you add/change something you need to also update that POT file. And for every language, create the po/mo file (poedit creates the .mo automatically) and translate the strings in each. Like I said, it all looks correct to me.

I couldn't find a relevant answer for my question, so maybe you can help. Thanks a lot.
