Is it possible to check is loaded language files correctly with WordPress plugin?

1 Views

I have a plugin to be translated. I have done following tasks:

1. Loaded the TextDomain

$my_td = 'mysignup';
function my_signup_textdomain_init() {
    load_plugin_textdomain( $my_td, false, dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages/' );
}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'my_signup_textdomain_init');

2. Added language files(po, pot, mo) in wp_plugin_foldermy_signuplanguages (for Bengali bn_BD)

  • mysignup.pot
  • mysignup.mo
  • bn_BD.po
  • bn_BD.mo

3. Changed the language code in wp_config.php file 

define('WPLANG', 'bn_BD');

But the problem is nothing is changed. I am not sure what I have done wrong.
Now I need to know how can I test everything, whether what I’ve done is fine, and how can I solve the issue.

  1. For plugins using the directory referred to by load_plugin_textdomain, the language files should be named “domain-locale.mo”.

    So for your case, the filenames should be mysignup-bn_BD.mo.

  2. I got my mistakes! I done everything good except 1 thing, textdomain setup.

    I forgot that i have set the $my_td variable outside of function. For this reason, my textdomain was missing. So i made the variable global as following:

    $my_td = 'mysignup';
function my_signup_textdomain_init() {
    global $my_td;
    load_plugin_textdomain( $my_td, false, dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages/' );
}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'my_signup_textdomain_init');

    Anyway thank for trying to help me.

    **Note: mysignup-bn_BD.mo or mysignup.mo both will work. But mysignup-bn_BD.mo is dynamic way.
