I'm trying to translate Woosidebars strings in french using PoEdit but my french strings are never shown on the front-end. English strings are always displayed, even when I change the language (And I can see it works since other plugins strings are well translated).

I've created and added a french translation file called 'woosidebars-fr_FR.po' in the 'woosidebars/lang/' folder. This file is compiled without errors (.mo)

If someone had the same issue it would be great to share a solution!

Regards

Try to rename your files, from woosidebars-fr_FR.po to fr_FR.po. The same for .mo file.

  • Hi @tran, it doesn't work. If I look into the code, in classes/class-woo-sidebars.php I can see the plugin tries to load a file called woosidebars-xx_XX.mo

  • I think you should find a plugin and see how they did. I suggest this: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-avatar. This is a plugin with translation and not many files. Look for the word load_plugin_textdomain in the file user-avatar.php. Find the difference between your plugins and that plugin. Hope this helps.

  • It appears there was a conflict with the WPML String translation module which was already installed and configured to translate widget strings.

I've finally found why this strange thing was happening on my website.

It appears there was a conflict with the WPML String translation module which was already installed and configured to translate widget strings.

fr_FR.po file was never called because the WPML plugin was configured to use database translated strings and not .po/.mo files for widgets.
