Hi,

I am using Integrity 1 and set up a child theme.

I followed all steps from here: https://community.theme.co/kb/translation/

I placed __x__-de_AT.mo and __x__-de_AT.po
in /wp-content/languages/themes
AND(!) /wp-content/themes/x-child/languages

– i adde the belwo code in functions.php in /wp-content/themes/x-child is:

add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘load_child_language’ );
function load_child_language() {
load_child_theme_textdomain( ‘__x__’, get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/languages’ );
}

still not working. what am i missing here pls?

Thank you

Hi there,

Please rename your .po and .mo files to de_AT.

Hope it helps.

I solved the issue.

Reason is that de_AT (For (austrian) German does not work). You can only set (German) German in wordpress as a language. So i changed filenames to “de_DE” and it works now.

Is it correct that the mo and po file needs to be both in:
/wp-content/languages/themes AND /wp-content/themes/x-child/languages folders???

or which one is the correct one?

Thanks

[Christopher]

Hi there,

Yes, following code shows language files path :

add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘load_child_language’ );
function load_child_language() {
load_child_theme_textdomain( ‘__x__’, get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/languages’ );
}

And you should put both files in languages folder.

Hope it helps.

Hi, That was very helpful!
So this all worked and I have translated X into German BUT….1 word won’t translate!

It’s the category slug i.e. mysite.com/category/categoryname

– wordpress language is set to german
– I translated the word category with po and mo files and all other terms are translated.
– I even refreshed perma links in the wordpress settings

Any idea how this can be changed to: “dienstleistungen” ?

Thanks for your great support!!

Hi there,

You can’t translate the slug through po/mo files. You should use a plugin to do that, and working with permalinks and slugs is quite tricky. You should consult it to a developer.

For example, the WPML, instead of translating the same instance of the post, it creates another copy where you input content, title, and slug (hence, two slugs that represent each language).

Thanks!
