My email is chifli(at)gmail.com<br /> Thanks!!! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-19046 Fri, 13 May 2011 13:48:14 +0000 argos 19046@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>That is correct.<br /> It was my mistake on not Asking before buying, as I assumed nobody could make something in one language in a global marketplace (although as I previously wrote, I bought lot of themes like Spicy, for example, that were only delivered in English but in 2 days they added the .po and .mo files...).<br /> Thanks anyway.</p> <p>I really hope you could add that feature maybe for next year, I will not ask refund because it was mistake (or maybe yours because on the theme page it doesn´t say: Please consider that the theme is and will only be available in ONE language and can´t be translatable in an easy way... ).</p> <p>I will try to change words manually as necesary so I don´t have to invest again, and for sure, you have a GREAT SUPPORT for the rest of things on the theme, so I will keep it.</p> <p>Thanks for your fast answer. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-19035 Fri, 13 May 2011 09:50:42 +0000 Dude 19035@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Kriesi currently works on his new theme so an update which will integrate better multilanguage support won't be released in the near future. You can try to get a refund if you like but imho there's no reason for it. We never promised to offer a fully translatable theme (as Kriesi pointed out above)... </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18993 Fri, 13 May 2011 03:18:42 +0000 argos 18993@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi, Kriesi. I love the theme, really.</p> <p>But I need it in spanish, and it seems that it will not happen soon (I read your reply and although other developers, that promised me making the theme multilanguage in a week after buying it, I understand this will not happen on Brightbox in the future days).</p> <p>Please, just let me know if I should stop using it now, and buy another similar, like SHUFFLE theme (already a multilanguage theme) asking themeforest a credit because of the language issue that will not be "fixed-added" soon, or If I still should wait some more days until I could get the .po and .mo files and so I could continue working on the launching of my site using this lovely theme !</p> <p>Please, need your advise on this.<br /> Thanks </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18957 Thu, 12 May 2011 15:04:19 +0000 Kriesi 18957@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey everyone. Actually there is a reason why I dont promote my themes as multi language ready since as you pointed out there are still some steps you need to do yourself. If a word in the template files isnt wrapped within a gettext function feel free to tell me and I will update the template.</p> <p>Wrapped in gettext means that there is no direct html text output: The word Comment for example should be wrapped like this when echoed:</p> <pre> &lt;?php _e( 'Comment', 'avia_framework' ); ?&gt; </pre> <p>or when applied to a variable it should look like this:</p> <pre> &lt;?php $commentVar = __( 'Comment', 'avia_framework' ); ?&gt; </pre> <p>I will try to include better translation support with upcoming releases but due to the fact that 95% of my customers are located in US, UK and australia the priority for those tasks isnt as high as fixes and features that really affect those 95%. I hope you do understand.</p> <p>However I have just recently requested a <a href="http://inoplugs.com/wpml">WPML</a> licence for developers so there will be improvements, allthough I dont know when these impovements will be ready :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18945 Thu, 12 May 2011 13:38:54 +0000 argos 18945@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi, sorry but don´t understood your solution.<br /> I can make a global search and replace but need exactly to know which WORDS should I find, and how they will have to be replaced.<br /> For example:</p> <p>Find<br /> Comment<br /> and replace with<br /> Comment_e</p> <p>Is that what I should do?<br /> Please can you provide a full list of words?<br /> an english only theme, is not what I need, and I am sorry, but I never assumed you still coded ONE language only themes, so please need an urgent solution, or maybe I should send the theme back to TF ?<br /> Please help me on this, and as you can read, I am not the only one with this problem... </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18207 Sun, 01 May 2011 14:10:58 +0000 Dude 18207@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> the only solution is to search all text strings in the template files and to replace the "static" text with _e and __ php functions. However this task takes some time and can be very tricky if plural forms, etc. are required. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18200 Sun, 01 May 2011 11:32:01 +0000 cris2371 18200@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>How this issue can be resolved? I really need the site in 3 languages.<br /> Cris </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18191 Sun, 01 May 2011 11:05:26 +0000 Dude 18191@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'll forward this as a feature request to Kriesi. Maybe he wants to consider it in the future....</p> <p>@argos - I'll report the translation issues to Kriesi. Updating default.po doesn't help. The problem is that some strings don't use the translation function at the moment. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18186 Sun, 01 May 2011 08:19:22 +0000 cris2371 18186@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Multilanguage especially in Europe, krisie is Austrian, is a MUST. Austrias neighbours: Czech Republic (language other than German), Hungaria (language other than German), Slovenia (language other than German), Germany, (German), Switzerland (3 languages), Italy (3 languages).<br /> If you want to use themes in a corporate world, even in Austria (where I´m living), you are mostly forced to build multilanguage sites. I have to translate my site in English and Italian, main language German.<br /> So I have to agree to argos. Even if your themes up to now weren´t prepared for multilanguage use, it is a very important feature, and we customers loose a lot of time in going through all the theme in search of words don´t put in the "default" po file (taken from where?). Accurate work also on .po files would be a reason more to recommend your very well done theme.<br /> Regards<br /> Cris </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18170 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 20:03:58 +0000 argos 18170@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Wow, based on more readings on your Forum, I tried to save the default.po and the es_ES.po and .mo files just "disordered" in the theme folder (NOT inside the language folder as I was used to do in all my previous themes from Themeforest).<br /> Well now, it seems SOME words appear translated on the theme.</p> <p>But as far as I could test:<br /> a. Words like Categories and - Tags: althought translated using Codestyle localization (what I always use) still are not changing on the site.<br /> b. but I tried to find that words in your default.po file, and that words are NOT in it yet</p> <p>So it seems your default.po file need to be updated to USE ALL the words in the site first, so I could continue translating it.<br /> Thanks ... I will be waiting the updated default.po file. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18159 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 19:31:23 +0000 argos 18159@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi, about using your Brightbox default.po file you provided via mediafire, yes, I have used it.<br /> I can send it to you by email with all that words translated and still not working on the site.<br /> Besides, as your .po file was not fixed to accept plurals words, I have updated in the es_ES.po file to accept that (If I don´t update it, then I would never be able to translate it using Poedit on Mac OS X).</p> <p>Telle me to what email address I can send it to you so you can test by yourself that is not yet working.<br /> Thanks in advance. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18156 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 19:18:55 +0000 argos 18156@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks, I hope you could inform about that direction on your policy and theme datasheet on themeforest -as it will be not possible to translate admin interface- as in my case, ALL the themes I have bought let me translate their ADMIN interface, like PUREVISION and so on...<br /> In most cases I also provide the spanish translation for free to the developer, you can see that not only at Purevision, but also Spicy theme and others...<br /> So in my case, UNTIL Brightbox, 100% of the themes I bought let me translate their admin interface, as WP let you do that too.</p> <p>I hope you could reconsider that in the future.<br /> Thanks anyway. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18154 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 19:13:53 +0000 Dude 18154@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>1) We have no plans to make the admin backend translatable. Over 98%+ of the themes have an English admin interface and are not translatable. </p> <p>2) Did you rename default.po to es_ES.po ? Please use the po I provided above not the po from this thread: <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/broadscope-translation-files" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/broadscope-translation-files</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18153 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 19:01:48 +0000 argos 18153@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi, beside that, I have translated lot of the .PO file you provided to Spanish.<br /> BUT I still can´t see translated the:</p> <p>Comments word inside the DATE block on the BLOG listing, neither the READ MORE button below each abstract on that listing either.</p> <p>So what should I do ?<br /> I am testing with the first POST that appears here:<br /> <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/themes/brightbox/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/themes/brightbox/blog/</a><br /> named:<br /> This is a nice post</p> <p>I hope we could find a solution.<br /> Of course I am using:<br /> define ('WPLANG', 'es_ES');</p> <p>and I installed first your default.po into a new created folder named: language inside your theme folder. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18151 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 18:32:02 +0000 argos 18151@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi, in that page says that we still couldn´t translate backend, something that is very important in my case.<br /> When are you going to enable that ?</p> <p>Translating the frontend is just the 50% of the language requirement, I hope you could understand.<br /> Thanks ! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18139 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:07:57 +0000 Dude 18139@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> I uploaded the po file here: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?brkjip65vkx8rtw" rel="nofollow">http://www.mediafire.com/?brkjip65vkx8rtw</a><br /> I posted instructions on how to translate themes with po files here: <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/broadscope-translation-files" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/broadscope-translation-files</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/brightbox-is-not-prepared-for-multilanguage#post-18138 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 16:53:48 +0000 argos 18138@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I can´t find the language folder on this theme.</p> <p>I installed: Codestyling Localization plugin, and it says:</p> <p>"Language Folder: The translation file folder is ambiguous, please select by clicking the appropriated language file folder or ask the Author about"</p> <p>So please, we need a solution to this.</p> <p>I didn´t asked about multilanguage on the theme, as... of course, you are on internet, and that means multilanguage is almost a MUST for an international sale of a theme, isn´t it ? </p>
