I have been trying to include some new German terms into a po/mo update to a Theme in WordPress
The original Theme was in German, but no specific mo/po was included. Here is my sequence: 1. downloaded the official po/mo files from wordpress germany, and then set to work. 2. translated the terms in all the documents into German 3. Wrapped the terms with _e and __ 4. Tried using poEdit for Mac (and as a last resort poEdit for PC using Parallels), and couldn¹t get a po file generated, augmenting the official po. 5. A kind man, John Godley, generated a po file for me. 6. Then edited the german terms (which were in the wrong column) using a text editor. 7. Added english terms 8. Sent the file Back to John, who produced a mo file 9. The mo file doesn¹t work, and now not even the standard translations are working. I guess my mistake was not to generate the po file BEFORE translating the php docs in WordPress? Can somebody help me sort this out, please. 1. Do I have to redo the po updating from sources, and start from untranslated theme files (functions & additional words)? 2. How would a German/non-English person set up the procedure? (for example: going from German to English) Many thanks Peter
