Translating Event Espresso strings

    Hi there, using Event Espresso and works fantastically for the event content. There are some strings however that are visible on the front-end for tickets that aren’t editable in the WordPress back-end directly. I’ve read some of the string translation articles that you have but still not quite getting it. Here is a specific example for one string in a plugin php file:

    <?php echo apply_filters( 'FHEE__ticket_selector_chart_template__ticket_details_event_access_table_total_ticket_left', sprintf( __( 'Total Spaces Left', 'event_espresso' ), '<br/>' )); ?>

    How would I go about converting that string (and others similar to it) for use with WP Globus?

    Thanks for any help, this plugin is above and beyond better than WPML, love it!

    Hi @tystra, thanks for your kind words.

    That string looks translatable (see the __()).
    However, the translations should be provided by the plugin author.
    They are absent in the “decaf” version. Not sure about the full one.
    Take a look at the languages folder – is there any files ending with .po / .mo?

    Yes, I found out the instructions to get them with the full version, so now there is the po/mo files in the correct place on my server. What would be next to connect them so they appear when I switch languages?

    If there are PO/MO files for the languages you are going to use, the Espresso plugin should load them.
    WPGlobus only switches the languages, letting the WordPress and all plugins know which language files (PO/MO) to load.

    Got it, it was just a matter of adjusting the po/mo file names, and now it’s perfect. Thanks so much! As far as I know, this plugin is one of the only ones capable of running multiple translations for Event Espresso (they even say it’s not possible right in their documentation), so this plugin is fantastic!
