<h3>Hi there Event Espresso Team</h3>

<p>first things first:
+ WordPress 3.9.1
+ Espresso 4.2.4.reg
+ New Installation
+ Site is not yet online</p>

<p>Well then I want to state that Event Espresso suits our needs in a perfect manner, though right now we have a problem concerning the proper localization of Event Espresso.</p>

<p>When using Event Espresso it shows like this:</p>

<p>Ticket Options Available Tickets Price (each) Qty*
Inkludierte Leistungen show details + €2,899.00 (EUR)<br>
Einzelzimmer show details + €399.00 (EUR)<br>
* Please note that a maximum number of 12 tickets can be purchased for this event per order.</p>

<p>Upcoming Date(s) and Time(s)
Sonntag April 5th, 2015 – Sonntag April 12th, 2015<br>
2:00 pm – 10:00 am</p>

<p>As one can see here it looks somewhat odd for a German speaking customer to have shown vital Data in English and fragments in German.</p>

<p>Is there any way that I can get rid of this ?
What can i Do ?</p>

<p>Thank you for help…..</p>

Hi Dean Hi Lorenzo,

Well I made some serious advances dealing with the .po file and such, nevertheless I still have to come around some quirks concerning the look and feel of event espresso on our german website.

In order to make my points clear I have made some screenshots.
The first one shows the quirks I am dealing with:

Can help me clarify the marked questions for me ?

Thank you

Hi,

The strings are as follows:

Please note that a maximum number of %d tickets can be purchased for this event per order.

Upcoming Date(s) and Time(s)

The months will need to be translated in the PO file as well, an example showing July translated http://take.ms/eVB08

Dean Thank you for your hint.

Well I have two problems right now:
I found the String and translated it:

English
Please note that a maximum number of %d tickets can be purchased per transaction for this event.

German:
Bitte beachten: Für diese Veranstaltung können nur maximal %d Ticket pro Transaktion gebucht werden.

But it doesnt show ?

Also as depicted in the given Screenshot the guy posting these seems to have the same Problems concerning the Date and Time Formats as I do:

It shows like this:
Sonntag April 5th, 2015 – Sonntag April 12th, 2015
2:00 pm – 10:00 am

Whereas in German it should show like this:
Sonntag 5 April 2015 – Sonntag 12 April 2015
14:00 Uhr – 10 Uhr

This to my mind is due to some misconfiguration in our WordPress global Date and Time Settings which are shown here:
http://www.phototours4u.com/dateandtimesettingswordpress.jpg

Something is not right here.

Thank you Dean

Hi,

The translation works for me: http://take.ms/NM3GE

Where did you add the EE language files? They should be in wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages.

Also are you running any cache plugins? Clearing them and the browser cache may help.

The format is a little wrong at the moment, there is a developer ticket being worked on to change the settings slightly so they use the WordPress format rather than the current format that has been set. Once this is ready it will be added to a future release.

We don’t Use no cache Plugins and don’t plan to use them any time soon.
The Path to the .mo and .po files is:

web/wp-content/languages/plugins

There are lots of phrases that are being translated but not showing on my page.
Also I can’t Find the following phrases in the po file at all:

TICKET PRICE BREAKDOWN
THIS TICKET SOLD
THIS TICKET LEFT
TOTAL TICKETS SOLD
TOTAL SPACES LEFT
This ticket type does not require any information for additional attendees, so attendee #1’s information will be used for it’s registration purposes.
Full description of your purchases and registration information. Print it, download it, cherish it
and so on and so on……

I am really getting desperate here there are so many things that I can’t do nothing about that it is getting very frustrating.

Is there any other possible explanation what possible reasons could be ?
Shall I provide the .po and *.mo files i am using ?
How can I assist you guys in solving this problem ?

Is there any other German user out there who can give me a clou ? Does your Version of Event Espresso work in German ?

Hi, could you move your language files to the following location?

wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages

Hello Lorenzo and Dean,

we have changed the location of the language file. From web/wp-content/languages/plugins to wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages.

But it’s still the same problem. Many phrases will not translated and i can’t still find some phrases in the language file.

For example:
TICKET PRICE BREAKDOWN
THIS TICKET SOLD
THIS TICKET LEFT
TOTAL TICKETS SOLD
TOTAL SPACES LEFT
This ticket type does not require any information for additional attendees, so attendee #1?s information will be used for it’s registration purposes.
Full description of your purchases and registration information. Print it, download it, cherish it

Do you have some other hints for me?

Hi Serdar,

Shall I provide the .po and *.mo files i am using ?

The .po file you’re using would be helpful for us to narrow down what’s causing the issue. Please copy its contents and copy into a gitub gist or a pastebin, then reply here with a link where we can review the .po file’s contents.

Hello Josh,

thank you for your support. Here is the link to content of our language file.

Hi Serdar,

It turns out that you need the Event Espresso 4 translation. If you look at the first line of the file you posted it says:

# Translation of Event Espresso in German

You can identify the Event Espresso 4 .po file by checking its first line:

# Translation of Event Espresso 4 in German

While this will work to translate *some* of Event Espresso 4’s strings, it’s out of date and doesn’t have all the strings that the Event Espresso 4 .po file has.

You can download the Event Espresso 4 German po file by going here:

https://github.com/eventespresso/languages-ee4

You can ensure you’re getting the right files by downloading the entire package’s zip file, then copy the German files that you need after unzipping.
