In the latest version of WP Auctions we’ve added localisation support, which means that the plugin has the ability to work in different languages without any changes or customisations to the code. It’s one of the abilities that WordPress plugins have, once you add all the different things in place for it to happen.
If you’re looking to translate the plugin into your respective language, here’s how you can do it. First of all, you need a plugin called Codestyling Localisation. Once you activate it, it adds a new menu item under Tools in your administration section. Click on this shows all the plugins you have that support localisation. You’ll see WP Auctions in the list together with any translation files (.po files) you already have.
If you want to translate the plugin into a new language, just click “Add New Language”. You’ll be shown a popup that lets you select a language:
Click on the language you’d like to create a translation for. The plugin will create the translation file for you, scan the plugin for any strings that you can translate and present a list for you to add your translations to.
The plugin has one exceptional feature that I just wasn’t expecting. When you try entering a translation for a particular phrase, it also gives you the option to get an automatic translation using the Google Translation services. Obviously, try and stick to languages you are familiar with; as machine translations can usually result in quite bizarre translations. But it’s an interesting feature.
Once you’ve prepared a translation file for a particular language; please get in touch. We’d love to include your work in future versions of the plugin so that other users can make use of the plugin using the translation YOU created.
WOW!!! You are my savior, man. I am looking to translate WP e-commerce plugin and it’s been very painful since there is no information or manual for anybody to get the task done. Specially when you doing stuff like translating you are always on your own. But this plugin might be the answer for me. Thanks
Glad we could be of help
Your Plugin is one of the best I’ve ever seen!
But one question…
I can’t found the short-codes/examples/php for place lists (for example: auction name | bids | auction price | buy now price | ending | detail link) in posts or pages.
Do you’ve a list of the short codes?
Please get per email in touch with me, I’ve localized the file in German if you need.
The short codes for auction in a post or page are only available in the paid version. It goes something like this [wpauction id="1"].
Hi Hyder,
I have the paid version…, bought yesterday from you.
But is there only this one short code?
Do you’ve an overview?
Yep, just one shortcode. The shortcode is inserted with the Auction ID from the custom panel that is in the “Write Post” and “Write Page” area.
OK, but how can I make a list of all active auctions in post or page?
We’re working on getting something like that integrated. I’ll keep you updated.
In the meantime you can manually enter your list of auctions using this code – http://www.wpauctions.com/wpa-code.txt
Thank you for now.
So now i created the translation, but how do i get it going?
Hi, I’ve created a dutch version for wp auction. But I have some problems get it up and running.
In my folder: locales I have got four files (wp_auctions.mo and .po and WPAuctions-nl_NL.mo and .po)
My default language for my wp blog is nl_NL.
wp_auctions.php:
// ensure localisation support
if (function_exists(‘load_plugin_textdomain’)) {
$localedir = dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__)).’/locales’;
load_plugin_textdomain(‘WPAuctions’, ‘ ‘, $localedir );
}
How do I get the dutch version up and running? Please help!
Hi Pieter,
Locale is set by setting the WPLANG setting in wp-config. There’s more about this here:
