I'm prepping my theme for translation. I've added the following line to my functions.php, and added the text domain within my theme files.

<?php /*** LOAD THEME TEXTDOMAIN ***/
load_theme_textdomain( 'mytheme', get_template_directory() . '/languages' );

$locale = get_locale();
$locale_file = get_template_directory() . "/languages/$locale.php";

if ( is_readable( $locale_file ) ) {
    require_once( $locale_file );
}

?>

I've used poedit to generate my po files. It is finding some of the strings that are labeled with the text domain, but it's not finding my menu items, categories, or tags. Guessing I'm missing something?

I did some digging and I couldn't find any answers. Ultimately this is for a front-end translation - wp admin will remain in english.

BTW, the menu is based on wp-bootstrap-navwalker

  • ok, so i did a wp export using the default functionality in wp admin, and i noticed that my categories are included in the xml file. but i don't see the strings contained in my menu items. where do these live? seems they're not being pulled into my export or my .po files. i had a look at the translation docs at wordpress.org, and they seem to deal mainly with translating wordpress itself, but i'm not finding much about translating the actual content for a front-end translation. thanks for your help!
