It is not possible to do it exactly as you ask as once you define() a constant in php you can not redefine/override the value. But what you are trying to do is not necessary, this constant is defined as part of the installation of a localized wordress, therefor it is already there, and set … Read more
Actually you need to hook in the ‘locale’ filter to set the language you want: add_filter(‘locale’, function($locale) { return esc_attr($_GET[‘language’]); }); Then in the links of your switch, you need to pass the language variable: <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/260015/<?php echo add_query_arg(“language’, ‘xx_XX’) ?>”>XX</a> Where xx_XX is the language locale code for language XX
You need to check your mysql database charset and website charset. They should be same – utf8.
I have no words 🤦♂️ A simple change dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__)) . ‘/languages/’ inside wp_set_script_translations() function (3rd argument) to plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . ‘languages/’ fixed the problem
Within the default feed template you’ll find something like this: <language><?php bloginfo_rss( ‘language’ ); ?></language> As you can see the bloginfo for the feed (bloginfo_rss()) is called (instead of get_bloginfo()). You can overwrite the feed language separately via a filter in your functions.php: add_filter(‘bloginfo_rss’, ‘custom_rss_lang_attr’, 10, 2); function custom_rss_lang_attr($output, $show) { switch( $show ) { … Read more
After inspecting your theme, this is what I came up with. I’ve taken the liberty to include Ruben’s solution as well to make this answer as complete as possible. There are several problems here: Number 1. load_theme_textdomain( ‘transparent’, get_template_directory_uri() .’/languages’ ); should be: function transparent_theme_setup() { load_theme_textdomain( ‘transparent’, get_template_directory() . ‘/languages’ ); $locale = get_locale(); … Read more
Likely you will need to do a bit of custom filtering to get this done. HTML part likely comes from language_attributes() function and passes through language_attributes filter. WP SEO part comes from WPSEO_OpenGraph->locale() and passes through wpseo_locale filter.
Yes, rename your pt_AR.mo to ar.mo and pt_FR to fr_FR.mo. In step one install but not activate yet the plugin Admin in English. Edit the plugin’s php script. Find line with en_US string and replace this string with fr_FR. Save and activate the plugin. Now your Dashboard will be in French. In step two remove … Read more
The easiest approach would be to have custom fields on the edit page: one text field for every language you want to use (and perhaps different title fields?) For this you could use a plugin like ACF. This would provide an easy interface for non-tech editors. Supposing you are building your own theme you can … Read more
As you probably already know, WordPress supports language packs. Translation files that reside in wp-content/languages. Those are used to translate all the strings the user sees in WordPress. WordPress also allows translation teams on WordPress.org to provide localized release packages. These already come with the translation files included, plus a bit more. They can translate … Read more
