The default text domain is registered in wp_load.php before plugins are loaded. See the function wp_load_translations_early(). So when you register your action callback, the text domain has been loaded already. For an alternative way to list all registered text domains see this answer: List of Default Translated Phrases.
First, actions added to plugins_loaded hook will not work from theme functions.php or any theme file because at that point it will be already fired (too late from theme files). What you can do is to hook your action into after_setup_theme and unload buddypress text domain first and then add your custom buddypress text domain … Read more
I don’t have a TON of experience loading in text-domains, but I think the problem could be as simple as get_template_directory(). get_template_directory() returns the parent directory, while get_stylesheet_directory() returns the child theme directory.
You are using weird quotes: load_child_theme_textdomain( ‘ifeaturepro5-child’, get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/languages’ ); } add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_child_theme_setup’ ); use this: load_child_theme_textdomain( ‘ifeaturepro5-child’, get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/languages’ ); } add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_child_theme_setup’ );
You have to use a plural aware function like _n() or _nx(), because the words around the number might change in some languages depending on the amount items. For visible numbers use number_format_i18n() and %s, not %d. You cannot reuse the labels, because plural forms change depending on context in some languages. This is how … Read more
Getting tired so mistakes creep in that I don’t see. I totally missed the fact that my sprintf strings are missing the domain name. I copied the code directly from the wordpress core files, and these code don’t include any domain name. So this is the fix: Change ‘must_log_in’ => ‘<p class=”must-log-in”>’ . sprintf( __( … Read more
use poedit, and build a translation database with it. Even without poedit you can probably parse an old po file to read all the translation and replace the matching string in the new file.
Yes, you can load multiple translation files for multiple text domains in one plugin. This is sometimes useful, for example when you need just one string in AJAX calls and many strings in the rest of the application: to make AJAX faster, load a separate translation. Be aware, automatic language updates for the plugin from … Read more
Since, ‘the_title()’ is not a static word, you can’t directly translate it. Its value can be dynamic and saved in the database. So, you can either use plugins like ‘WPML’, ‘qTranslate’ or just learn how to do translation for the values which are saved in database.
No you can’t this way. See documentation : $echo = text_function(); printf( __( ‘My string is %s’, ‘my-text-domain’ ), $echo );
