Adding translations (manually)

Eduardo Mozart de Oliveira edited this page Feb 3, 2025 · 2 revisions

If your preferred language is missing. You can add your own translation on Transifex service or manually with the following steps:

  • Go to the plugin folder
  • Switch to the folder locales
  • Copy one of the already existing .po files
  • Rename it into the correct notation of your language
  • Edit the file, edit msgstr to change the translation, do not touch the msgid
  • Edit the header especially the "Language: "
  • When the file is ready, then you need to compile it with: msgfmt -o filename.mo filename.po
  • If msgfmt is not found, install the package gettext (apt install -y gettext)
  • If you edit a previous translation, you may need to update the translation cache: go to Setup - General - Performance, enable Debug mode, clear translation cache

Tip: You can also use POEdit to edit and compile a .po file to .mo through UI.
