Theme Translation

itaybd

Hey,

I've started translating the Spaceship theme to Hebrew.
So far, I got no problems with the CSS and PO (too bad it is not supported by the "CodeStyling Localization" plugin - please check&fix that).

Now I would like to translate the admin menu as well.
Did you create the system in an easy-to-translate way or do i have to go through the different PHP file to replace the words & texts ?
And also, is it possible to make the changes in the child theme and not in the base theme ?

thanks
Itay

Hello I was expecting you ;-)

I will check what is this plugin for, and ask more questions to you if needed.

For backend translation I will create PO file today and will attach it here, so you won't have to go through all files.
Most other changes are possible through child theme as described in documentation.

With regards.

OK, it require some more changes, so lets go:
1. Extract zip file to spaceship/languages so you will have structure like spaceship/languages/admin/default.po
2. Edit spaceship/advance/apollo13.php (don't worry it will land in some silent update of spaceship so you won't loose it). Find ~114 line

function set_lang() {
		load_theme_textdomain( TPL_SLUG , TPL_DIR . '/languages' );
		
		$locale = get_locale();
		$locale_file = TPL_DIR ."/languages/$locale.php";
		if ( is_readable($locale_file) )
    		require_once ($locale_file);
}

and change it to

function set_lang() {
		load_theme_textdomain( TPL_SLUG , TPL_DIR . '/languages' );
		
		$locale = get_locale();
		$locale_file = TPL_DIR ."/languages/$locale.php";
		if ( is_readable($locale_file) )
    		require_once ($locale_file);

        // For admin translation
        if ( is_admin() ) {
            load_theme_textdomain( TPL_SLUG , TPL_DIR . '/languages/admin' );
        }
	}

Next follow http://apollo13.eu/docs/spaceship/#!/translating_theme but place your translated files in spaceship/languages/admin

Should be all:-)

With regards.

OK , now I know a little about that plugin you have mentioned. So what exactly issues you face while using it with our theme?
