This is our main documentation on setting up EE in a different language:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/translating-event-espresso/. To get EE translation working, it’s basically 3 steps. Define WPLANG in wp-config.php, download the .mo file from the github account, and place it in wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages. To work on updating the translation, download the .po file from the github account, open it in poedit, and when you are ready have poedit generate the .mo file and replace the one in your install.

Hi,

Can you try re-downloading the files?

Githubs downloading methods are a bit weird:

To download the PO file – left click the link on the main page and then right click the Raw button in the top right of the page that comes up and save as.

To download the MO file – left click the link on the main page, and then left click the View Raw text link in the middle of the page that comes up.

If you don’t do this you may end up with a MO and PO file that contains garbage data and the language wont work.

Hi there,

It does take additional memory to load up and run translation files. So if you’re getting a white screen when the translation files are loading up it may require increasing the amount of memory allocated. One way to allocate more memory is by editing the wp-config.php file. Right after where you have:

define('WPLANG', 'es_ES');

you can add:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

If the above doesn’t work, it may help to know if there’s a PHP error being thrown, so you can check the error logs and/or change the another line a few lines down where it defines WP_DEBUG to:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

Then check the site again for any errors.
