To create a new language file for your MemberSonic installation:
- Copy membersonic/languages/membersonic.pot
- Rename the copied file to membersonic-xx_XX.po (xx_XX is the language code. Example: es_ES for Spanish)
- Download POEDIT (www.poedit.net) and install.
- Open the new membersonic-xx_XX.po with POEDIT
- Translate the text. It’s very simple to use.
- When done, click save.
- After saving, there should be another file in the location of the membersonic-xx_XX.po called membersonic-xx_XX.mo
- Upload both files to membersonic/languages/
That’s it!
Note:
If the WordPress is already in localized language, then it should work straightaway when the above steps are done. If not, this is how WordPress should be localized…
To change WordPress Language:
- Open wp-config.php in Wordpres root.
- Find the line define(‘WPLANG’,’xx_XX’)
- Replace xx_XX with the language code (Example: es_ES | define(‘WPLANG’,’es_ES’))
- Save. This is to change WordPress language and must for membersonic localization to work (i10n)
