Hi Carlos,

Did you download your translation files from here:

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

Or are you using the translations that EE provided automatically?

I’m sorry but I don’t understand.

The strings you have highlighted above should be included within the PO file for translation, so I’m trying to find which translations files your are using.

Did you download the PO and manually translate?

Can you try placing the files within /wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages/

The files should be called event-espresso-4-es_ES.po and event-espresso-4-es_ES.mo (assuming you are using the Spanish translations files)

So if you change the filesname to match the above and upload them to the new location, do the language files work?

Hi Carlos,

I misunderstood what you were trying to do here, I do apologise.

Rather than using the MO/PO files for this you can use something like this:

function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'Attendee %d' => 'Participant %d Details',
        'Attendee Information' => 'Participant Details',
        'Billable Registrations:' => 'Number of Tickets',
        // Add some more strings here
    );
 
    // See if the current string is in the $strings array
    // If so, replace its translation
    if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
        // This accomplishes the same thing as __()
        // but without running it through the filter again
        $translations = get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
    }
 
    return $translated;
}
 
add_filter( 'gettext', 'mycustom_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

Add that code within your themes functions.php or a Site Specific Plugin.

That will change the strings you highlighted above so that it will look like this – http://take.ms/On5wU and http://take.ms/J9U2A

Is that what you are looking for?

Great. Let us know whether that works for you!

Can you check it matches the code above exactly please.

I’m using that code without any issue on my site.

If you prefer, copy you functions.php file to http://pastebin.com/ and add the URL here. I’ll take a look there.

Its because of where the code has been placed in the file.

Remove that code completely and use this site specific plugin instead http://take.ms/H3e40

Download that and install it as any other plugin. It will add another plugin called ‘Custom EE Text Translations’ that has the same code as above but in a plugin.

Please let me know how you get on.
