Translating Plugins

This guide covers the basics of translating a RocketTheme plugin to your native language.

Setting up WordPress for translation

Please skip this step if you have already set your native language for your WordPress blog.

To enable WordPress to load template language file:-

  • Using your favorite text editor open file wp-config.php from your WordPress directory
  • Locate the line: define (‘WPLANG’, “);
  • In the second quotes (next to WPLANG) please type in your language code ie. for Polish pl_PL, for Deutsch de_DE, for Italiano it_IT etc.
  • Final result of line should look like: define (‘WPLANG’, ‘pl_PL’);
  • Save the file
Complete lists of codes can be found at (country codes) and (language codes)

Translating a RocketTheme plugin

In this example we will use the RokStories plugin for translation:

  • Download the .pot file editor such as POedit (multi-platform)
  • Open the editor and choose New Catalog from POT File
  • Open the rokstories.pot file from the plugin languages directory (http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-rokstories/languages/)
  • Click on a single phrase or sentence and type in your translation in the bottom of the POedit window
  • Save the file using Save As and as a filename use your plugin name, country and language code ie. for Polish rokstories-pl_PL, for Deutsch rokstories-de_DE, for Italiano rokstories-it_IT etc. (For the polish translation for RokStories, saved as rokstories-pl_PL.mo)
If you want to you can share your translation with us so we could provide your language file to other users of WordPress Club here at RocketTheme.

Installing downloaded translation file for the RocketTheme plugin

  • Please check if your WordPress is set up to use the translation (see above)
  • Copy your downloaded .mo translation file to the plugin languages directory (http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-rokstories/languages/)

Sharing your translation with RocketTheme

  • After translating your .pot file POedit also creates the .mo file which contains your encrypted translation
  • Just send us your plugin-country_code.mo (depending on what language is your translation) file located in (http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-rokstories/languages/) and tell us for what country and what language is your translation

Client Testimonials

Wonderful, friendly service. Thank you so much for looking after us!

Faye Chandler, Oliver Chandler Limited

I would gladly recommend Keeley to anybody who is looking for a conscientious, detailed and hard working accounting professional. Both individually, during her career before Magenta, and now as part of the wider Magenta Accounts team Keeley has looked after my financial well-being over the last fifteen years, and has done it exquisitely well. In fact, so happy am I to recommend Keeley, that four of my closest friends now have their company finances managed by Keeley's safe hands at Magenta.

Mike Boreham. Managing Director, Quiddity Solutions Limited

Magenta have handled our payroll and invoicing for three years, and have had an extremely positive impact on Semantic. Between them the team now handle all my personal and professional needs.

Nick Warren. Managing Director, Semantic Limited

Keeley has handled all my tax affairs for many years and I cannot speak highly enough about the professional level of service she has provided. Her efficiency and knowledge mean that my tax affairs are handled swiftly and competently making the whole experience pleasurable and cost effective.

Linda Green

Just a note to say how impressed I have been with Magenta Accounts and the service that you have provided me within my first 6 months of setting up my business. With being a new business, making sure I generate income immediately is vital, so by knowing that you are taking away of all my financial duties from me such as making small payments to providing monthly management accounts allows me to focus more of my time on other aspects such as growing the business and generating revenue. Each member of staff provides a personal and prompt service and it is comforting to know that whoever I speak to at Magenta Accounts, each member of staff is fully aware of my accounts and the current situation. I would fully recommend your company to any business who is looking for a service that not only helps take away the stress of looking after money, but also helps you grow as a business.

Michael Dyble, Managing Director, Dybles Limited

Keeley and her team are fantastic at providing the right advice, expert skills and taking the headache of accounting away from me, allowing me to spend more time on my business, not in it. Highly recommended local, friendly company.
