Adam Heckler on "[Plugin: WP Job Manager] Arabic translation is not working"

Hi,

Thanks you very much for your nice effort.

Great plugin but I am getting one issue while changing the WP language into Arabic. And language folder is also empty. It seems like that you are using WordPress translation.

Please help me how i can translate Job Manager into Arabic. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

We have a guide to translating WP Job Manager here:

https://wpjobmanager.com/document/translating-wp-job-manager/

The existing Arabic translation is here:

https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ar/default/wp-plugins/wp-job-manager

It's best to contribute there if you wish so that everyone can benefit from your translations. :)

Thanks!

How can I get Job Manager into Arabic.

If a plugin is 100% translated on WordPress.org, you should be able to install it on your site by switching your site's language to Arabic, and then going to Dashboard > Updates. You'll get an option to update translations, and that will download the file.

However, WP Job Manager is only at 39% translated for Arabic:

https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ar/default/wp-plugins/wp-job-manager

So to use it, you need to follow these steps:

1. Go here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wp-job-manager/stable/ar/default
2. Scroll to the bottom and click Export: http://d.pr/i/11oTY/1IxBnEbn
3. In your site, create a new folder like so: wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager/languages.
4. Place the downloaded file inside that folder.
5. Under General > Settings, switch the language of your site.

As I noted above though, only 39% of strings have been translated, so you're still going to see many in English.

Thanks!

Hi Adam Heckler,
