Translate Osclass plugins and themes

For translating an Osclass theme or plugin we will use a translator Poedit. You need to have this program installed on your computer and you are ready to edit or create a new translation language for Osclass.

Edit an Osclass language

In most cases your theme or plugin will have a language folder en_US, this is located in your plugin folder or theme folder in subfolder languages. Download this folder, make a copy and rename with your language code like en_US for English or ro_RO for Romanian.

In the translation folder will be 2 type of files:

.po  -  this file will be edited to change an existing translation or to add new words

.mo - a binary files that will be used by osclass

theme.mo, theme.po - files used when you translate a theme

messages.mo, messages.po - files used when you translate a plugin

Edit the .po file with poedit by right click on the file => open with poedit OR open poedit program =>Edit a translation =>select your file and add the corresponding translation for each word. After you save the file you upload the folder in your theme or plugin languages, the entire folder not just the translation. This folder will contain .po, .mo files.
