How to change the language of the ‘Reset Password’ page

How to update records using $wpdb?
Logic of my function was all wrong, should have sorted the result in $trans_array before the foreach loop. Here is the updated code that worked, if anyone needs it: function rkm_translation_update() { global $wpdb; $trans_row = $wpdb->get_row(“SELECT * FROM id_item_lid”, OBJECT, 0); $id = $trans_row->id; $item = $trans_row->item_id; $lid = $trans_row->lid; $trans_array = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * … Read more
What is the correct way for multi-domain and multi-language website?
For the multilingual setup I´d recommend using WordPress Multisite. You can give each site it´s own top-level domain, or host them on subdomains or subdirectories.

htmll lang=”de” but admin page in English

Getting translated string through a variable

For the admin you force the translation to spanish: function wpse227983_force_language ( $locale ) { if ( is_admin() ) { … Read more
How WordPress knows where to find locale files?
Plugins and themes pull the translation files manually from (mostly) their directory. There are 2 different functions which handle this: For plugins : load_plugin_textdomain() For themes: load_theme_textdomain() The syntax would be something like this, mostly hooked into init or plugins_loaded action hook: load_plugin_textdomain( ‘text-domain’, get_template_directory() . ‘/some-directory’ ); OR: load_plugin_textdomain( ‘text-domain’, false, basename(dirname(__FILE__)).’/some-directory’); Look for … Read more
Problem in Internationalizing a plugin built for network level usage
The third parameter to load_plugin_textdomain function should only be the plugin name suffixed with the language folder. It does not need the absolute path to the language folder.
