Error: Invalid MO format

I can’t find this theme in the WordPress theme directory, but Loco Translate is probably not compatible with the way it is set up for localisation.

If you post a source code download link, I can tell you for sure.

Hi #TimWhitlock!

I got this WpJobs from themeforet

I can’t test themes with price tags.

If Loco Translate doesn’t just work automatically, then it probably can’t guess how the theme’s translation files are laid out. You’ll have to translate it some other way.

thank you sr.

First of all: Thanks for sharing “Loco Translate” here in wordpress repository. I’ve been looking for an alternative to the good old WP-plugin “Codestyling Localization”, which I used before, and your plugin seems to be a real good choice. Very cool plugin!

Playing around with Loco Translate in a local install of WP, the same error happened with the plugin Ultimate Member:

We are using the plugin Ultimate Member (the free version here in the repository)and getting the same Error: Invalide MO format.
The language settings of Ultimate Member (via Dashbord in the Plugins Menu) can be “forced” to update the language file acc. to the settings of WP (in our case German), and this seems to work as there are files named ultimatemember-de_DE.po and ultimatemember-de_DE.mo in wp-content -> languages -> plugins. Looking for the translations of Ultimate Member via Loco Translate, I cannot find that German .mo or .po file, but a Template-file redux-framework.pot and redux-framework.mo, which seems to be invalid: Trying to add a “New language” turns the message “Error: Invalid MO format”.

Does Loco Translate ignore files in the languages-folder of wp-content or are the settings of Ultimate Member preventing Loco Translate?

Cheers, Heike

The same error doesn’t mean the same problem. Could you post this in a new thread, please?

Sorry, posted in a new thread now.
