    I wanted to translate the following quotes into dutch:

    submit new entry
    view my directory entry
    edit my directory entry
    return to directory

    I can’t find those quotes.

    The following strings, you need to translate the connections_link.pot file using POedit.

    • view my directory entry
    • edit my directory entry

    The file can be found in this folder:
    ../wp-content/plugins/connections-link/languages/

    The following strings, you need to translate the connections_form.pot file using POedit.

    • submit new entry

    The file can be found in this folder:
    ../wp-content/plugins/connections-form/languages/

    This already appears to be translated to “Verstuur” for the Dutch (Netherlands) translation.

    There is no “return to directory” string, but if you mean “Go back to directory.”, that can be translated on Transifex which already appears to be done for the Dutch (Netherlands) translation.

    Steven,
    I managed to translate the three phrases – view-edit-submit – with poedit. I have given a new translation for ‘Go back to directory’ ion Transifex. Why can’t i do this with poedit?
    Now i have to wait for an approval, how long will it take and what when it is not approved?

    re: Why can’t i do this with poedit?

    Because the translation for the core Connections plugin is managed on Transifex to allow many people to help translate in many languages so they can be easily distributed to everyone. That can not be done with POedit.

    re: Now i have to wait for an approval

    No, you do not need to wait for approval or an update to Connections to include the new translated strings. See this FAQ.

    Thank you for your very quick answer. I’m very happy with it. The structure of my files is like this:

    • wp-content/languages/lanquages

    but also

    • wp-content/plugins/connections/languages

    i have put them in both directories
    the filenames are
    connections-nl_NL.mo
    connections-nl_NL.po
    i have the languages defined as necessary

    result: no translation as in Transifex
    former translations not visible, the english phrases returned

    what went wrong?

    I just downloaded the PO from Transifex, saved the MO file and place it in this folder:
    ../wp-content/plugins/connections/languages/ overwriting the original. When I changed the language in WordPress to “Netherlands” the “Go back to directory.” string became “Ga terug naar directory”.

    What should it say? If that is what it is supposed to say and what you see is English, then I suggest double checking the file naming and the file was in the correct location. Also, make sure, that the new file is actually overwriting the old.

    My translation for ‘go back to directory’ is ‘Terug naar het overzicht’.

    I have done all again: translation Transifex, save, download, poedit, save, upload to the directory you mentioned, and ….there it is: the right translation on my website.
    Now i have to translate the other phrases again. I’ll hope for fast result.
    Thanks for answering so quickly again Steven,
    you are very very very helpfull with much patience.

    You should think of a career in Education :)
