You can easily translate the entire WordPress Banners plugin with all its words and phrases into your own preferred language.

Step 1

Open poEdit

Before you can get started, you’ll need to open the poEdit application on your computer. If you don’t have poEdit, you can download and install it for your platform.

Step 2

Open/Create Catalog File

The WordPress Banners plugin is distributed with a default, English catalog file named ‘wp-banners-en_US.po’ inside ‘wp-banners’. You may open this file with poEdit and save a copy so that you can start translating immediately. If you open the existing catalog file, all the strings will be available for translation immediately.

Alternatively, you can create a new catalog file though by choosing ‘File’ > ‘New Catalog…’ inside the poEdit application.

Fill in the project information such as the plugin name, your team name, your preferred language, your country, charset, etc. These values under the ‘Project Info’ tab can be anything you wish them to be.

Under the ‘Paths’ tab, you’ll need to fill in “../” as the base path and under the paths, you’ll need to create a new path and also fill in “../”. This indicates that the PHP files are in the upper/parent directory (one directory up) of the one the language file will be located in.

Create 2 keywords under the ‘Keywords’ tab. The one is 2 underscores “__” and the other one is underscore and the letter ‘e’ which makes “_e”. These will always remain the same since they are inside the code.

With that done, click the ‘Ok’ button so that poEdit can allow you to save the catalog file. Save the file with the filename ‘wp-banners-xx_XX.po’ where the “xx_XX” part should be replaced with your language code, followed by an underscore and then your country/region code, such as en_US (US English), en_UK (UK English), nl_NL (Dutch), zh_TW (Traditional Chinese for Taiwan), es_ES (Spanish), se_SE (Swedish), etc. Save it inside the ‘wp-checkout/languages’ directory/folder of the plugin. You will notice that it immediately saves a .MO file (which is the actual language file) as well. The .PO file is just the catalog file and it is not used by the plugin through WordPress. Be sure to keep the .PO catalog file for future changes though.

Once you save the catalog file, poEdit will start scanning the PHP files recursively in the upper/parent directory (the ‘wp-checkout’ folder) for words/phrases encapsulated by __() or _e() so that they can be translated.

Step 3

Translate Words/Phrases

Whether you chose to open the existing catalog file or create a new one in Step 2, the words and phrases inside the WordPress Banners plugin should now be in front of you, ready to be translated. You’ll need to type the translated string (in your language) in the box below the box which shows the English string.

Step 4

Set your WPLANG locale

Open up your WordPress configuration file named ‘wp-config.php’ and fill in your locale as the value for the WPLANG defined constant. The locale will be your language code, followed by an underscore “_” and then your country/region code such as en_US (US English), en_UK (UK English), de_DE (German in Germany), nl_NL (Dutch in the Netherlands), zh_TW (Traditional Chinese for Taiwan), es_ES (Spanish), se_SE (Swedish), etc. Be sure that you saved your catalog file (.PO) and your language file (.MO) as ‘wp-banners-xx_XX’ inside ‘wp-banners’ where the “xx_XX” part in the filename should be replaced by your locale which you also define here in the configuration file.

The translation process is rather simple and the only mandatory requirement is that you fluently understand English and another language. This article will guide you through the process if translating the WordPress WHOIS plugin using an application called poEdit. 

In order to get started, you’ll need a copy of the WHOIS plugin on your local computer. Put it on your desktop or another location where you can easily find it since you’ll be using it in the next steps.

First step is to download the poEdit application. Once you have downloaded the software for your specific operating system, install it and launch it.

Go to “File” > “New Catalog…” which will create a new catalog file. You’ll notice a dialog appearing with three tabs at the top. In each of these three sections, you’ll need to type some details.

The first section requests some general details regarding the project. The only mandatory field is the project title. You may leave the other fields blank if you prefer to do so.

The second section named “Paths” requires a “Base Path”. Simply put a dot “.” into the “Base Path” field. Then, in the box below that, create another path item and add a dot “.” See the screenshot above.

In the third section, named “Keywords”, you need to add two items. The first item is two underscores “__” and the second item is an underscore and the letter e like this : “_e”. Both without the quotation marks.

Now click “Ok” and the application will ask you where you would like to save the file. The destination should be inside the “wp-whois” folder of the plugin where you put it on your local computer earlier on. So simply save the .PO file inside the “wp-whois” folder. Give it an appropriate name according to your personal preference.

After you’ve successfully saved the file, the poEdit application will start doing a scan. The scan will pick up all the phrases and words inside the Wordpress mailing list application which are translatable. When the scan has finished, you’ll see a list of phrases and words.

You’ll need to click each of the phrases/words and translate it. When you are done, save everything and upload the plugin, together with the files created by poEdit. The language file should remain inside the “wp-whois” folder when you upload the plugin to your “wp-content/plugins/” folder. The name of the .PO file should be “wp-whois-xx_XX.po” where “xx_XX” should be replaced with the appropriate language code which you’re using. See the list of language codes if you are uncertain
