When adding _x to the keywords, try it this way: _x:1,2c This tells the parser to watch out for _x and to take the first argument as msgid and the second argument as a comment, which will then be recognized as context by poEdit and inserted as msgctxt. Oddly enough, my poEdit then shows me … Read more
Install the plugin WP Native Dashboard. Then you can set one language for the front-end in your wp-config.php and each user can choose another one for the back-end. See Change language of comments template for details and a screenshot.
Download your languages files from the SVN repo… I would strongly advise against this. The repo, as storage of language files, is being discontinued, in favor of Translate WordPress. Right now, you have no guarantees that the repo has a current version of the file. The current method of getting language files is either to … Read more
Since esc_html_e will escape HTML link (hence will show the HTML anchor as plain text), you’ll need to segment the text and escape the non-HTML part with esc_html_e or esc_html__, and print the HTML LINK part without HTML escaping. Method-1 (just for your understanding): You may do it in parts, like this: esc_html_e( ‘Dear Guest, … Read more

Use this pll_register_string() on functions.php Use it like this: pll_register_string Allows plugins to add their own strings in the “strings translation” panel. The function must be called on admin side (the functions.php file is OK for themes). Usage: pll_register_string($name, $string, $multiline); ‘$name’ => (required) name provided for sorting convenience (ex: ‘myplugin’) ‘$string’ => (required) the … Read more
No, this is not okay. NO NO NO. Here’s my favourite Otto quote: Inside all translation functions, no PHP variables are allowed in the strings, for any reason, ever. Otto explains this in more detail, but the simple way to say it is that translation calls are parsed, not executed . So your variable (let … Read more
To find the answer to this question, you just need to look at how WordPress retrieves the translations. Ultimately it is the load_textdomain() function that does this. When we take a look at its source we find that it creates a MO object and loads the translations from a .mo file into it. Then it … Read more
Try qtranslate…I use it religiously. Has some issues like with dates and times, but I always find a solution.
