Sorry, as i mentioned in the opening post, language files are taken from the customize plugin 'language' folder, and if that does not exist then they are taken from the main framework language folder.

and that main framework language folder will be overwritten at each update?

[Simon_P]

Yes it will.

Hiya, I have the base theme and customize plugin active and followed your tutorial step-by-step, but the changes are not visible on the site. Also tried putting the new files in the main language folder, even as a replacement to the pagelines.pot file, but no changes are visible in either case. I do refresh my cache before each loading. I run the latest framework version. Do I need to first add/activate something in the customize plugin pages? thanks, Nikki

@holimed, No theres no need for any activation. What language do you change. You should open the .po file of that language and edit that. Then when you save you will get a .mo and.po file. Drag them from your desktop to your theme/pagelines/language folder. It should work. But when you update PageLines the file will be overwritten. To avoid that, you will have to activate customize plugin. Then go to wp-content/plugins/pagelines-customize and create a new language folder. in that folder you put your translated .mo and.po files. Now you can update PageLines and your changes will remain. I am not a pro, so this is just how I did. Hope it helps.

Hi
Here comes a tip for you all.
I use this plugin instead of POedit. It works out much better for me.

I know i used it before but since last updates from pagelines it doesn't see the .pot or .po/.mo anymore. You still use it with version 2.2.5. You are a wizard! Tell me your secrets....

[wonderwoman]

Something has changed with 2.2.5 for sure... I've found the .po file in pagelines-customise/language, but the text for the message string is not what displays. Instead I get "keyword" which looks as though it's coded as a placeholder... whatever that means. So is that an "undocumented feature", or is there another way to change that...

Hello folks,
I followed this tutorial step-by-step, PoEdit generated .po and .mo, I renamed it to "sk_SK.po" and "sk_SK.mo" (I would like to translate pagelines framework with iBlog theme to Slovak language), uploaded to my "pagalines/language" folder (I use iBlog theme I guess it doesnt matter), and changes isn't visible...I appreciate any advice!


EDIT: I have translated some of strings on PageLines Translations Center (

), then I have exported .po and .mo files, uploaded to language folder and it doesn't work also.

EDIT2: I solved it, I have renamed files "sk_SK.po and .mo" to "en_US.po and .mo" and it appears translated strings!

Thanks

You uploaded to the wrong folder, please read the opening post.

Do you really need to use the customize plugin to get Pagelines in another language, even if you are using a child theme for customization?

 

That's just stupid!

It is like this for a reason. Most customers will probably purchase a 3rd party child theme, if they then put the mo file into the child theme and the author of the child theme then releases a bug fix the translation file will get wiped out.

So the mo file goes in the customisation plugin.

[attac]

But won't the customize plugin interfere with the customizations done in my child theme? 

[Simon_P]

Nope, you can use either or both. Entirely up to you.
