S2 Profile form not completely translatable

Hi,

I use the “[s2Member-Profile /]” shortcode on my website which I have translated into german.

But two fields do not show the translated strings but the original english ones:

Username and Password titles:

I have places the file “s2member-de_DE.mo” into the plugin directory and it seems to work (except for the mentioned strings).

How do I solve this?

I see both strings in the s2member.pot file, did you translate them there? s2member\includes\translations\s2member.pot

Hi Cristian,

yes, I translated both strings. But the translation is not applied.

This is from my po-file:

#: s2member/includes/classes/profile-in.inc.php:78
#: s2member/includes/classes/sc-profile-in.inc.php:94
#, fuzzy
msgctxt “s2member-front”
msgid “(cannot be changed)”
msgstr “( kann nicht geändert werden )”

#: s2member/includes/classes/profile-in.inc.php:234
#: s2member/includes/classes/sc-profile-in.inc.php:250
#, fuzzy
msgctxt “s2member-front”
msgid “(please type it twice)”
msgstr “( bitte zweimal eingeben )”

I have found additional places where “please type it twice” is used but not declared in the po file:

\s2member\includes\classes\profile-in.inc.php (1 hits)

Line 234: echo ‘‘ . _x (“New Password?”, “s2member-front”, “s2member”) . ‘ ‘ . _x (“(please type it twice)”, “s2member-front”, “s2member”) . ‘
‘ . “\n”;

\s2member\includes\classes\sc-profile-in.inc.php (1 hits)

Line 250: echo ‘‘ . _x (“New Password?”, “s2member-front”, “s2member”) . ‘ ‘ . _x (“(please type it twice)”, “s2member-front”, “s2member”) . ‘
‘ . “\n”;

Could this be the problem?

I don’t think that’s the problem, but I’m not sure what is…

You can try this hack to complement your translations file:

Create this dir/file: /wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php
See: Knowledge Base » Hacking s2Member® Via Hooks/Filters

[hilite pre_code]

Ok, this has worked.

But could you please issue a bug report since I have translated the strings in the mo-file but it is not displayed properly. Thanks!

Best
Alex

I’m glad that helped. :)

Sure, I’ll pass it on to Jason, but could you please provide a link to download your translation file? I’d like to review and try it to see if I can find what the problem is. Thanks!

Sure, here is the download-link:

Thanks! I should have asked for the .po file. Could you share the s2member-de_DE.po file as well so I can read it? I forgot .mo is a binary file. Thanks!

Thanks, I’ll tell Jason about these as well. You can use the hack I gave you to take care of these too.

Yes, I again used the hacks-file.

You can just replace the ending and then you can download to po file.

Cool. Thanks!

Found the problem, it’s because those entries have the “fuzzy” attribute, so they’re being ignored and the original string used instead. http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Fuzzy-Entries.html

Jason updated the documentation in s2Member to warn about these. /s2member/includes/translations/translators.txt

FUZZY translation entries: If you’re updating an existing PO file (e.g. recompiling your MO file after changes in a new release of s2Member); please be sure to manually review any “fuzzy” entries. A fuzzy entry can occur as a result of changes from one release of s2Member (or s2Member Pro) to the next; where small changes in text might render your translation invalid (e.g. fuzzy).

Depending on your PO file editor, fuzzy entries may need to be reviewed and changes committed BEFORE you recompile; otherwise fuzzy entries will revert to their default state in your final MO file. Translations that are fuzzy, are NOT compiled into your final MO file. This can lead to much confusion. Please review any fuzzy entries carefully.
