Buddypress translation is not working

[Leonardo]

Hi guys,

While this is not directly related to Boss itself, I am guessing many of you may have faced the same issue, so I am asking here. Forgive me if I am in the wrong forum.

I configured my site to be in spanish. Everything is working properly, but not Buddypress. Buddypress keeps displaying in english. And buddypress does come with es_ES translation.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Location files are there. They come with buddypress.

Thank you.

@leonardoarias Welcome to the BuddyBoss community! Try the codestyling localization plugin. That usually fixes most people’s issues.

Hi @tjchester. THank you for the welcome message, and for your suggestion.

I just solved the issue.

I will share how I did, in case somebody else faces the same issue:

Buddypress comes with a spanish translation but the translation was missing many strings. So, it was an incomplete translation. That is why the buddypress pages were mostly being displayed in english.

So I went to the buddypress translation website. There, I downloaded the most recent translation (where others can contribute as well). I uploaded that file to the languages/plugins/ folder and now it all works.

Thank you.

Glad you solved this issue yourself. Thanks for sharing the solution, I’ll close this out.
