I want my Event Espresso in Dutch. I know that’s a standard language in the package, but how do I activate it? And does it translate everything (including standard pages)? |
We have a guide to translating Event Espresso here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/translating-event-espresso/ You need to follow the steps here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/translating-event-espresso/#localized-wp Then here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/translating-event-espresso/#ee-lang
The EE translations files will only translate strings within Event Espresso. |

I had found that, but how do I translate and edit things like confirmation pages and pop-ups, e-mail and button texts? |
Almost all strings within Event Espresso, both front end (which include the EE confirmation pages) and the admin can be translated using the PO/MO files. Confirmation emails are a little different in that EE installs a template file to the database on activation, so translations only happen on install (or a template reset). You can edit the PO/MO files, upload those to your site and reset the templates, or simply edit the emails from within Event Espresso -> Messages. Button texts can also be done through those files. Is there specific strings you can’t find currently? |

In what directory can I find those PO/MO files? |
Have you translated using PO and MO files before? The PO files are available through our GlotPress project, for EE4 that is here: http://translate.eventespresso.com/projects/event-espresso-4 You download your specific PO files, rename the file to use the correct filename, open it up in POEdit to add any custom translations. When you save the file POEdit will generate a MO file for WordPress to use, place that within wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages/ This is explained further within the tutorial: |
