For debugging try the following change: function my_theme_setup(){ $path = get_template_directory() . ‘/languages’; $result = load_theme_textdomain(‘my_theme’, $path ); if ( $result ) return; $locale = apply_filters( ‘theme_locale’, get_locale(), ‘my_theme’ ); die( “Could not find $path/$locale.mo.” ); }
it is too late but for public use: /* if qTranslate is installed */ /* set front locale for ajax calls requested from front-end */ function set_locale_for_frontend_ajax_calls() { if ( is_admin() && defined( ‘DOING_AJAX’ ) && DOING_AJAX && substr( $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’], 0, strlen( admin_url() ) ) != admin_url() ) { load_theme_textdomain( ‘your-theme-domain-name’, get_template_directory() . ‘/languages’ ); … Read more

In mysql2date() we find this: if ( $translate ) return date_i18n( $format, $i ); So, all you … Read more
According with the codex, get_current_screen() has to be used later than admin_init hook. After a few tests, it seems that the safiest way is to use current_screen action hook instead of get_current_screen(): add_action(‘current_screen’, ‘current_screen_callback’); function current_screen_callback($screen) { if( is_object($screen) && $screen->post_type == ‘mycpt’ ) { add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘theme_change_comments_label’, 99, 3 ); } } function theme_change_comments_label( … Read more
Is it enough to just create a child-theme – let’s say technically without adding anything else but the bare minimum style.css – to have the translation of the parent-theme being used automatically for the child-theme as well?
