DMS 2 How to load translations ( language/fi.mo -file) from child-theme, not the parent DMS?

[ketri 7]

Hi,

 

I'd like to translate my DMS-theme. 
When I use PoEdit and take the finnish translation from DMS Transifex -project and add it to the language-folder of my child-theme, the translations won't work. Only when I delete the language-folder from the DMS-parent theme the translations from my child-theme start working. 
I don't want to edit the DMS-theme of course in any way since updates will destroy any edits.

 

So I'd need a function to my functions.php that would make WordPress use the translation file in my child-theme.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I will need to test this myself and if this is indeed correct, then I will have to report it to our developers. Out of interest, what is the name of your language folder ?

Is it

 

/language/

 

or 

 

/languages/

 

?

Thanks Danny.

It's 'language' in the DMS (parent-theme) and in my child-theme.

What's the status here?

I'm still unable to get the translation to work. So I want WordPress to load the .mo file from my child-theme folder. Otherwise and update to DMS (parent theme) will override my translation with a fi.mo file that doesn't have any translations. 

 

So what kind of function can I use to make WP load the translation from my child-theme?

I have the same problem/request, my situation is very similar to ketri's issue. I am working on slovak translation of DMS theme so i have files sk_SK.mo and sk_SK.po. If I place them to main DMS theme everything works perfectly but in my DMS child theme language folder are ignored. 

 

Another observed issue with translastions and DMS child themes: I have child theme where i use "my-text-domain" then following wordpress codex steps to localize child theme doesnt work either (this time of course i have my .pot file as well with .po and .mo files in folder 'languages' of my child theme) I tried both ways to register text domain (load_theme_textdomain and load_child_theme_textdomain)

 unfortunatelly non of them worked for me, any suggestions? 

 

Looking forward for solution
