Translating WP-e-Commerce is now easy

Posted December 16, 2010 by valentinas

Note: This post is about WP e-Commerce 3.8 and the methods described in it will not work for 3.7

I’m happy to announce, that WP-e-Commerce translations page is now up and running. Check it out: http://languages.getshopped.org/. The page is powered by GlotPress, the same software, that WordPress uses to do their translations.

This is how the front page looks.

You can log in with your GetShopped account (if you don’t have one – get it here). Logged in users can suggest translations and download translation files. Once you are logged in – click on the WP e-Commerce project and you will get a list of languages:

Select the one that you need (if your language is not in the list – let us know in comments, we will add it) and then you will see the translations:

The is a Link to download the translations on the bottom left corner of the page. You will get a PO file. To use it on your WP e-Commerce site you will need to rename it to wpsc-xx_XX.PO (where xx_XX is your language code) and compile it to MO file. It is easy to do that with PO Edit, just open PO file and click Save. The MO file will be created in the same directory. Put MO file in your WP e-Commerce wpsc-languages folder and you will be ready to go, but don’t forget that your WordPress language is set in wp-config file. You can find more information on the codex page.

    Great post,
    I’ve been looking forward to this for a while. Hopefully it works well with the community. FYI there is an issue in Google Code logged by visser on the ‘safe guarding’ or language files so that they do not get overwritten on upgrades… should be out on the stable version of 3.8.

    Why do you not use WPML ?

      I think you are missing the point of GlotPress. It’s a software that enables community to participate the translation process. WordPress uses the same software for all their translations: http://translate.wordpress.org/. Basically GlotPress is for creating translations and WPML is for using those translations in your website. Also, you can use WPML with wp-e-commerce. In fact we had a chat with WPML developers and they’ve said that wp-e-commerce is almost 100% compatible with WPML. I say almost, because few things needs to be changed but that will be done for 3.8.

    The Finnish translation is pretty much done (by yours truly), so that would be good to add in to the mix :)

      Thanks a lot! :) Here’s the link to Finnish translation: http://languages.getshopped.org/projects/wp-e-commerce/fi/default I’ve added you (username hitolonen) as a validator for Finnish so you can import/approve translations!

      • Hanna January 10, 2011 at 12:08 pm

        Thanks! Tested importing and works great – will add the whole language in a few days!

        BTW, should we translate the country currencies as they appear on the po file / on the site or actually add the real currency that is used? I noticed some old currencies popping up, so wondering what to do with those.

          I would recommend to leave the currencies untranslated for now. I will make some changes in the end of this week and then update the translations. Will let you know.

    Hi, I have n Estonian language PO file which is 99% translated, but I cannot upload it to GlotPress. I guess I do not have sufficient rights. It seems that the latest beta adds some new words and sentences that are not included in the POT file so I guess I need to upload the PO file first and merge it with the GLotPress version of the translation. Please add sufficient rights for me as there seems that nobody else is translating to Estonian.

    Hi
    I translated some texts in Spanish (Spain) and other corrections (Special signs were wrong; For example ñ í ó é ú á).
    Translations must be validated?
    Who does that? And when?

    I think without vildation I can not download files….. ???

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Unfortunately is not possible to log in with my account. Is possible to download Czech language somewhere else ? Maybe I would like to volunteer on Slovak translation.

    Thanks a lot,

    Hi,
    I see that the spanish (spain) translation have many pending of validation strings and many repeated ones because many people (like me) keep translating until they see that the exported .po file doesn’t include the “waiting” ones!
    Would it be possible that you give me Validation permissions?
    Thanks in advance.

      Hi there,

      It would be great if you could validate the strings I have sent you an email with a few directions and questions so we can get you all set up.

      Thanks

    Hi! There are actually two types of Chinese.

    For WordPress, current 3 types are supported:
    Chinese – 中文 (zh_CN)
    14.1 Hong Kong (香港) (zh_HK)
    14.2 Taiwan (台灣) (zh_TW)

    Can we at least have the separation of Simplified v. Traditional?
    I’d be happy to do the translation for Traditional Chinese (or zh_TW).

    Thanks!
