Best way would probably be to use the built in Internationalization function in WordPress. This will then translate according to the language pack being used. The “U” character to a date() call gives the unix timestamp, which is just what you need in this case, for passing to date_i18n(). For example: echo date_i18n(‘j F Y … Read more
First of all, mind your language please. If there are swear words in your code, please remove it before you post your code. OK, to get to your question, there is nothing wrong with your code. It looks sound. Which parent theme are you using? I have a child theme which is not localized You … Read more
Here’s how the Timber plugin handles this: $twig->addFunction( ‘__’, new Twig_SimpleFunction( ‘__’, function ( $text, $domain = ‘default’ ) { return __( $text, $domain ); } ) ); I’m guessing you’re doing something similar, in which case the reason these are being skipped is that you’re using a variable for the text domain. Have you … Read more
The order of the functions being called is wrong. With this code: sprintf( __( ‘%s’, ‘my_text_domain’ ), $title ); You are trying to translate the string ‘%s’ in the domain ‘my_text_domain’. you are then replacing the translated string for ‘%s’ (which is ‘%s’), by the content of the variable $title. Therefore your code is similar … Read more
Instead of using ‘if’ loop it’s better to use special function: <?php echo _n( ‘article’, ‘articles’, $count, ‘my-plugin-domain’ ); ?> http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/_n
Basically all themes out there are written in English, and localizations strings will look something like this _e( ‘Some English text’, ‘domainname’ );. Usually authors include a pot template with the theme. I qoute from the codex “POT (Portable Object Template) files The first step in the localization process is that a program is used … Read more
I have to admit that I didb’t understand the setup ;), but it doesn’t matter as the lower level functions (load_textdomain IIRC) will check if a translation file is already loaded and will not load it again, therefor you can use the same file to include many translations, and call the loading function as many … Read more
I managed to make it work: In wpconfig.php file I set define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_croatian_ci’); Do an SQL query on database in PhpMyadmin with: ALTER TABLE wp_posts CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_croatian_ci I tried setting with utf8_unicode_ci first, sorting was slightly better but not quite accurate.
Should such messages be localized at all or are they out of scope for localization? Yes, they should be localized … but don’t depend on the text returned by the API. Does something like __( $message ); even make sense? Not really. First of all, you’re not providing a text domain for the string to … Read more
You should use a localized XML format like XLIFF or TMX , there is a tool to convert XLIFF to .po. If you cannot change the source XML you have a few options but it really depends how your outputting this XML info: Parse the XML ( for label) and create a .po with gettext … Read more
