Hello again Roberto,
I thought that Genesis Translations plugin was not working properly with my Genesis Framework but perhaps the error is because of the James child theme. I will create a new blog next week just using Genesis and I will try again and see how goes with the Genesis Translations plugin.
I checked the in the James child theme languages folder and there is a "james.pot" file and also en_US.mo and en_US.po files. I would be very happy to translate james.pot using poedit software. Is that james.pot file the one I need to use to create the .mo and .po files? If so then I will proceed to translate.
Thank you so much for your help, much appreciated here, really, thank you !!!
Hello again Roberto,
I am afraid I am using a child theme from other theme designer (Web Savvy Marketing). The child theme is called "James". So are you saying that Genesis should not have any problem with its plugin Genesis Translations and that the problem I have is due to my child theme?
Thank soo much for your help!!
Hello Roberto, thank you for your help, do you know why is that Genesis translations plugin does not work on my website? Is it because of the Child Theme I am using?
I will try to edit the functions file and make the translations. Also I found a .pot file inside the Genesis framework and I would like to know how I can make my own translations manually.
Thank you again.
Thats no problem Chris35, and thank you very much for talinh the time to help me 🙂
I would suspect most themes will need you do tweak the code a bit to optimize the appearance in order to implement a menu language switcher.
What I figured out is that perhaps will be bettet to make standalone wp installations in subdirectories for each language and from the main site tweak te top part and create a simple menu with language flags to link to those subdirectories. In this standalone installations I can make the translations of .po files for each languages. If I can achieve this I will get rid of the WPML plugin and make the sites more robust and secure and fast load speed.
I will keep looking and try to find a solution and I will post it here.
Thak you again !!
Hello Chris35, thank you for your reply. Actually I am learning how to use poedit and I also would like to help the comunity to translate in Spanish (my native language).
But this is not the case, as the website I am going to build will create some sort of cientific articles and they will need to be translated in other languages and the client wants to use WPML to let translators to access the admin site to make the translation from the original article.
I tested WPML on local server and everything works fine, the only problem I found is how "ugly" is the looking of the language switcher that I pñaced in the top navigation bar.
I have tried with Hello Pro, Executive Pro and AgentPro and the design look of the language switcher looks not nice and not even aligned.
What is the child theme that could help me implement the languahe switcher wuthout breaking the site design? Does anyone know?
Thank you in advance!
