Hello –
I was wondering if the instructions on this page here, https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/, are still current? I have followed the instructions for using POEDIT to change the language files – and noticed first that the upload directory was a bit different than what is mentioned in the article (the language file was not where the directory path was mentioned) and then secondly I am not finding the code for step #7 Edit your wp-config.php file. Where it says to change the define(‘WPLANG’, ”); change it to define(‘WPLANG’, ‘en_US’); in the wp-config.php file.
I am using the EE 4.7.8 and hosting with GoDaddy.
Thanks for any guidance!

Hi Brenden,
Can you check the full file name of the PO file and post it here please?
The directory you upload the language file to is /wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages/
WPLANG is no longer required within wp-config.php, this should be taken from your site settings within Dashboard -> Settings -> General -> Site Language.

Thank you –
When I go to wp-content/uploads/espresso there is not a languages file located there…there is only css, gateways, logs, templates and tickets as folders.
The PO file that I downloaded was: event-espresso-4-en.po I made my modifications wanting to change the words “purchase” to “reserve” and saved the file and then uploaded the MO version to the languages file that I found in the wp-content/languages directory.

Change the file name from event-espresso-4-en.po to event-espresso-4-en_US.po
Then open it up in POEdit and save once again to generate a MO file (or simply also rename the MO file to match)
If there is no language directory within /wp-content/uploads/espresso/ then you may need to manually create it.
/wp-content/languages/ is the wrong location and will not work as expected.
So if you manually create the language directory, then place the event-espresso-4-en_US.MO file within there (/wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages/) does it work?

Hi Tony –
Okay – I double checked all of my naming/spelling and everything and did exactly as you suggested. I verified that I had inserted the translation for “Please note that a maximum number of %d tickets can be purchased for this event per order.”replacing the word purchased with reserved – saved it in a new languages folder in the correct directory and still nothing is happening to this replacement on the registration page. (I cleared my cache and all).
I know awhile ago we had paid for premium support to change the word “Tickets” to “Registration” and that was changed somewhere by a member of your team – could there be some sort of file overwriting what I am trying to do – or conflicting? Sorry – grasping for answers! Thank you again for any suggestions.

Possibly, but only if your translating the same string.
Can you send me your PO and MO file please?
If you can email them to support[at]eventespresso.com I’ll take a look.
We could also add this to function used previously to change the phrasing, but if you require more string changes the PO/MO files may be the better option as its easier to maintain once its working.
If you go to Dashboard -> Settings -> General.
Look at your ‘Site language’ setting, what is it currently set to?

Thank you – my site language setting is set to English – US. I am emailing now the PO/MO file.

Hi Brenden, are you trying to change the following message?
Please note that a maximum number of %d tickets can be purchased for this event per order.
…to this:
Please note that a maximum number of %d tickets can be reserved for this event per order.
If so, please use this instead:
