Hello,
I have updated to WP 3.8 and EE 3.1.36.1.P, after which the payment options which appear at the end of the event registration are not entirely translated. They are partly in German and partly in English, though they should be entirely in German.
I think to have identified the bank_payment_vars.php file where this comes from.
The part ‘Attention!’ gets correctly translated into ‘Achtung!’.
But the rest of the following code snippet from bank_payment_vars.php shows up in English:
–> Screenshot of inconsistent translation<–
<code>
<div class=event_espresso_attention event-messages ui-state-highlight>
<?php _e(Attention!, event_espresso); ?>
<?php _e(If you wish to pay by an Electronic Funds Transfer via your bank, then please make note of the information above, and click to, event_espresso);
?php _e(Complete your Registration, event_espresso); ?>
?php _e(Complete your Registration,event_espresso);
</code>
Please assist to understand how to fix this update issue.
Thanks, Thomas

Hi Thomas,
How had you done the translations? The proper way to do the translations is to use the files from our github and copy them to wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages? Or did you do the translation within the file? If you did the translation within the actual php file, they will be overwritten during updates.

Hi Jonathan,
I checked again, and I confirm that I am doing the translations via the language files.
I also re-checked the EE documentation on translations. I think there is an error on the page “How to Change Languages“. It states that the WP language files should go into wp-includes/languages, but IMO it should be wp-config/languages
Anyway, I have put them in both spots, but could not get this single part “If you wish to pay by an Electronic Funds Transfer…” in the course of the EE registration translated.
The translated part in the PO file reads:
<code>#: ../../../plugins/event-espresso/gateways/bank/bank_payment_vars.php:57
msgid ""
"If you wish to pay by an Electronic Funds Transfer via your bank, then "
"please make note of the information above, and click to"
msgstr "Falls Sie per Bank-Überweisung zahlen wollen, notieren Sie sich hier "
"die Kontodetails, und dann "</code>
Any advise is highly appreciated.
Cheers, Thomas

Forgot to mention:
Yes, I have put the EE translations from GitHub into
wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages
The code mentioned in my previous post shows the desired German translation, but it still appears in English…

Hi,
I think there is an error on the page “How to Change Languages“.
We use the WordPress guidelines http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#Using_Localizations, but it can of course be added to wp-content if you prefer.
Regarding the translation, I updated the language files yesterday to be more up to date so you may find swapping to the new ones resolves your issue.

Hi Dean,
I downloaded the EE language files 4 hours ago, so I should be already using your latest update. But the problem unfortunately persists…
Cheers, Thomas

That’s strange, I just downloaded and installed the German files, edited the PO file with Poedit and that string translates fine – http://d.pr/i/nrfc
When you edited the file did you just use a text editor or did you use Poedit? If just the text editor, try with Poedit as it also updates the MO file. It’s free, available at poedit.net

Hi Dean,
I just downloaded the PO/MO files again from GitHub via the browser’s context menu “Save target as…”, just to be sure. But when opening the PO file in PoEdit, I get the message
“The file cannot be opened. The file may be either corrupted or in a format not recognized by PoEdit.”

Clicking “OK” on the message above leads to another message in PoEdit:
“Failed to convert file *-de_DE.po to Unicode.”

Githubs downloading methods are a bit weird:
To download the PO file – left click the link on the main page and then right click the Raw button in the top right of the page that comes up and save as.
To download the MO file – left click the link on the main page, and then left click the View Raw text link in the middle of the page that comes up.
If you don’t do this you may end up with a MO and PO file that contains garbage data and the language wont work.

Hello Dean,
Following your download procedure has lead to correct MP/PO files, and the translations are now appearing correctly in the course of the event registration.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Cheers, Thomas
