How to “disable system translation” (tricky case)

  • Hello,

    First, thank you really much for LocoTranslate. Your plugin rocks ??

    To continue, I have a complicated case that leads me to ask a complicated question ??
    So I will try to make it crystal clear :

    • I use bbpress + a 2nd plugin (that adds features to bbpress)
    • To keep my bbpress translations safe, I use custom location as you recommend ??

    Problem :

    • Since a few months, the 2nd plugin started preventing LocoTranslate to load the custom location file for bbpress
      ? When that 2nd plugin is activated, system location translation is used for bbpress ??
    • I showed that issue to the 2nd plugin’s author and he tried to find a solution in his code, but couldn’t

    So I go directly to you with 1 question :

    • In bbpress “Advanced” tab, can I use “Blocked paths” to prevent system location to be loaded ? (Meaning even if bbpress updates and recreates its system location file, it would be ignored)
      ? If yes, do you have any clues about the url I could use for that ?

    Thank you for your help ??

    PS : If you already encountered a situation where a 3rd party plugin “forces” system location to be used instead of custom location, any thoughts would be welcomed (it can maybe help the 2nd plugin’s author to find a solution).

    Kind regards

    In bbpress “Advanced” tab, can I use “Blocked paths” to prevent system location to be loaded?

    No. This configuration is only for the functioning of the editor and related extraction functions.

    Configurations are not consulted when Loco Translate attempts to merge custom translations. They are taken from the fixed location, where they either exist, or not.

    Ok thank you for the fast answer.

    Do you have any idea I could suggest to the 2nd plugin author ?
    (As said above, when activated, his plugin “forces” system location file to be used instead of custom location file)

    It’s hard to make suggestions without knowing what this 2nd plugin is actually doing.

    If it’s requesting a “bbpress” translation before Loco Translate has loaded, then the LoadHelper will not run. This may cause later (well behaved) translation requests to skip the loading stage.

    The only way to get to the bottom of it is to debug it.

    Thank you for that info. I will share it to the plugin’s author ??
