Hi,
How can I translate in Romanian some frontend strings of EE (e.g. “Available Tickets” “Qty” “Please note that a maximum number of 10 tickets can be purchased for this event per order.” “Ticket Price Breakdown”, “Ticket Sale Dates”, “ The dates when this ticket is available for purchase.”, “Goes On Sale:”, etc.?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Emil

Hi Emil, some of those strings are already translated into Romanian. Could you download the latest translation file here (bottom left area of screen: http://cl.ly/image/1v3h47440x2z):

http://translate.eventespresso.com/projects/event-espresso-4/ro/event-espresso-ro_RO

Then upload the PO file and MO file to this location on your site using an SFTP or FTP client such as Cyberduck or FileZilla:

/wp-content/espresso/uploads/languages

Then be sure that your site is set to use the Romanian language and Event Espresso should start using the available translations.

Hi Lorenzo,
I’ve downloaded the translation file, but the path you specified I have to put the file in doesn’t exist. Should I create it or should I put the translation file (.po) in the existing folder /wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/languages/? This one already exists and it has in it the file called event_espresso-ro_RO.mo
Please clarify.
Thank you.
Emil

Hi Emil,

The path to add your translations should actually be

wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages/

Does that directory exist?

Please do not use /wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/languages/ as your custom translations will be lost each time you update event espresso.

(when plugins update the plugin directory is deleted and the new version downloaded and extracted, so if you place custom files there they will no longer remain after the update)

Hi,

This:

/wp-content/espresso/uploads/languages

Should be:

/wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages

Sorry about that.

If the languages folder doesn’t exist, just create it. The espresso folder should be created by default when the plugin is activated.

Hi, I have the same problem, there was no languages folder in espresso/uploads.

I have now created the folder /wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages/ restarted the plugin but still no .mo file?
