Question

Hi all I have one problem. Po file doesn't work. I use qtransltae-x for translation. And I create custom pot file

example

# Copyright (C) 2015 Gawatt
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: Gawatt 1.0.0\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2015-06-03 11:30+0400\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2015-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"
"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <[email protected]>\n"
"X-Generator: Poedit 1.8.1\n"

#: club.php:25
msgid "zibil"
msgstr ""

after that I generate it`

# Copyright (C) 2015 Gawatt
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: Gawatt 1.0.0\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2015-06-03 11:30+0400\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2015-06-03 12:45+0400\n"
"X-Generator: Poedit 1.7.6\n"
"Last-Translator: \n"
"Language-Team: \n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=(n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 : n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2);\n"
"Language: ru_RU\n"

#: club.php:25
msgid "zibil"
msgstr "sdfsdfsdfsdf"

code output `

<?php _e('zibil'); ?>

and in wp-config

define('WPLANG', 'ru_RU');

but when I switch language to russina it doesn't work, can you please help me thank you.

If you want to translate your theme you need to tell Wordpress where to find the translation files using: <?php load_theme_textdomain( $domain, $path ) ?>, doc.

For example:

add_action('after_setup_theme', 'my_theme_setup');
function my_theme_setup(){
    load_theme_textdomain('my_theme', get_template_directory() . '/languages');
}

And when using the function _e() you have to include the domain, doc

Like so: <?php _e('zibil', 'mytheme'); ?>.
