Do you speak german? So i may i ask you some other questions about EE in german? thats quiet easier for me ?

Currently, all of the support team are native English speaking so you would need to post in English.

We may be able to decipher bits of German but in the end would need to use Google translate, meaning we may end up answering a completely different question to what you are asking if we do it that way.

Sorry, another (stupid?) question: i downloaded the file, how can i uploaded it to loco translate?

There are no stupid questions 🙂

Doing this can be a little tricky with Loco Translate but its possible.

First, the file you downloaded above must be named event_espresso-de_DE.po

The event-espresso-4-de_DE.po naming convention we use will not work with Loco Translate.

Upload that file to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages/

In Loco Translate you need to edit the Event Espresso bundle, so:

Loco Translate -> Plugins -> Event Espresso

What you will see is likely something like this – http://take.ms/IiRfs

EE automatically downloads the MO file for the current language and saves it within the plugin, it does this each time it updates so that ‘default’ translation file is always available (It’s NOT a POT file, its MO file containing some translations).

Go to Setup and you’ll see this – http://take.ms/OQUPn

Click to Import config from XML and use this code: https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/fa61d2c71ac0c19f9720405e20d194f7

It should look like this – http://take.ms/q6sbk

Press load config.

Back in the overview tab you should now see the new PO file you just added, you can edit the translations then save, Loco Translate will generate your MO file and that file will load on your site.

Note for future readers (and above):

We are going to work on making this easier in a future version of Event Espresso and also include the POT file within Event Espresso itself should you need it. Eventually it’s likely you will be able to use the ‘Check config repository’ to automatically load the config rather than having to manually add it yourself.
