Help us translate WP Auctions
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.
Using the translation
Once you’ve prepared a translation file for a particular language you can upload it via FTP to the locales/ folder in the plugin. The correct folder location is wp-content/plugins/wp-auctions/locales/
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:

Owen
P.S. Please let us know how you get on
Hi there,
is the plugin in German and Turkish available?
So long
Joachim
How many locale support by WP Auctions now? Including free version?
So far we just have English, foreign language users tend to just keep the translations for themselves. We’ll look into offering it as part of the package in the future.
I used WP Auctions free version, and use Codestyling Localisation to translate WP Auction to Chinese. However, Chinese didn’t show up on WP Auctions. I have all other plugins showing Chinese properly.
I had completed this “Locale is set by setting the WPLANG setting in wp-config”, everything can show Chinese except WP Auctions. Please let me know which part I missed.
I think I figured out, need to change some code to make it work.
Hi,
just like Pieter I created a Dutch version of WP Auctions, and can’t get it up and running…
My wp-config.php contains: define (‘WPLANG’, ‘nl_NL’);
In my wp-auctions/locales folder i have 4 files: wp_auctions.mo, wp_auctions.po, WPAuctions-nl_NL.mo and WPAuctions-nl_NL.po, but it just won’t work…
Are the names of the dutch mo and po files correct?
Do I need to re-insert the auctions in my posts?
Thanks in advance!
same problem on my site, i have .po and .mo files but impossible to activate it in wp-auctions
I have the same problem with the language support. I have created Dutch language files, but they don’t show.
I use WP Auction Pro
Any help on this?
Did you upload it to the locale/ folder in the plugin? You have to do that manually via FTP.
Hello Hyder, I have both files WPAuctions-sk_SK.mo and WPAuctions-sk_SK.po in the pluging “locales” folder but the auction is not translated, can u advice what might be wrong ? thank you
Yes I did.
I am using the Codestyling Localisation Plugin you suggest. I get this message however in that plugin:
Compatibility: Textdomain definition: There are problems to find the used textdomain. It has been taken from existing translation files. If it doesn’t work with your install, please contact the Author of this plugin.
Hello, I need a advice on one issue. I installed the plugin to translate the WW-Auctions, first issue is after installation now of the Flag picture are not seen, they seems to be like without picture sources, but when I check the link of source the flag files are there
any idea?
Second issue I created my SLOVAK language for WP-auctions, everything seems to be okey, but the translation is not happening, do you know why ? Does it which between the languages based on a Browser language or?
thank you
Why aren’t these problems solved. A lot of people have issues with this. I have paid for this plugin and expect some support.
Every now and then a see an answer which doesn’t solve the problem and it goes quiet. Perhaps to busy with the release of 4.0 but don’t forget your existing customers.
Best regards,
KooTjoo
I am lucky, I did not buy it, even through I was close to it, so I started to test it and find out that the translation does not work somehow correctly. Even through I see the PO and MO translation files, it does not work. People be aware of this bug, I hope the author will fix this issue and it will work so I can buy a full version for sure, I like the the script, but function is the KEY for me.
So dear author of the script, let us know once the bug is fixed. thank you
Hi,
Any news on this?
Thanks,
KooTjoo
Come on, some support here! I have paid for this plugin and expect some support.
