Multi language possible?

    Hi there – nice plugin! I just started fiddling around and will start to import 500+ recipes soon (from two old recipe plugins). But first I need to know:

    How do I change some English expressions into German – for example “Ingredients” needs to be “Zutaten”, “instructions” is “Zubereitung”, “hours” is “Stunden” and so on. Do you provide .po and .mo language files for translation or could you at least point me in the right direction: Which files do I have to edit?

    Many greetings from Germany – Gabi

    Hallo!

    Danke, glad to hear you’re enjoying the plugin!

    For translations, we provide a .pot file inside the languages directory of the plugin. This source file allows users to provide their own translations. On translate.www.remarpro.com, users can provide translations to the community. It looks like a user has translated the reader-facing portion of Create into German but the translations are marked as needing approval by an editor, which can take awhile.

    If you’d like to provide your own translations, you can download a translation program such as Poedit. Open our .pot file (/wp-content/plugins/mediavine-create/language/mediavine-create.pot/) and you’ll be able to write your own translations, export them as .po/.mo files, and upload to your server in the same directory.

    If you’d like to start with the translations provided by the other user, you can scroll to the bottom of the page, change the dropdown that says “all current” to “only matching the filter” and then click “export.” This will download the .po file. Using a tool online such as this one, you can compile the .po file to an .mo file. Rename both files to “mediavine-create-de.po” and “mediavine-create-de.mo,” respectively, and upload to your server at /wp-content/plugins/mediavine-create/languages/.

    Here’s more information on how the www.remarpro.com translation process works.

    Thanks again for trying out our plugin! I hope this is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions.

    Thanks for your quick answer – I now use the plugin “Loco translate” and it works fine. The exception being some terms with times – are hours, minutes, Prep Time hard coded somewhere?

    Many greetings – Gabi
