Glotpress parses the files and you can start to translate. The translated .mo and .po files get automatic updates, if a translation string changes. They are stored in /wp-content/languages If you don’t host your Theme or … Read more

For the simplest case, when one language is set as accepted, you need to read only first 2 characters from this header: $language = substr($_SERVER[‘HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE’], 0, 2); But, … Read more
I was able to solve my problem, follow the code in case someone needs the solution: add_filter(‘login_errors’,’login_error_message’); function login_error_message($error){ //check if that’s the error you are looking for $pos = strpos($error, ‘incorrect’); if (is_int($pos)) { //its the right error so you can overwrite it $error = “Um ou mais campo estão em branco ou dados … Read more
