Actually I was also planning to return to this issue, since we have now tested the plugin usage and also noticed that the plugin sends both the username and password in plain text to the user after registration. So the password is not saved in no safe manner in the DB. This is indeed alarming and should be fixed ASAP.

I finally had some time to do some testing with the translation stuff. Found out the issue, or couple of issues with the FI translation file. First of all, in WP, FI language code seems to be ‘fi’, not fi_FI

So, the translation files need to have name of ‘simple-membership-fi’ (.po & .mo files). Also file metadata should have
“Language: fi\n”

I also noticed when comparing SE and FI translation files, that the line numbers are a bit different. For example, the field ‘First name’ should be at ‘views/add.php:23’ (according to SE translation file) and in FI translation, it says line 22. I manually updated the FI translation file’s login page line info (those texts that point to add.php page) to correspond the SE translation line info. If there is further mismatches, it’s a lot of work to update all. It’s not really good to bind stuff to php file line numbers.

Anyways, the FI translation file should be fixed to the plugin’s files also, so I don’t need to manually update that in the future, and new users that might need the FI language with the plugin would have it working out of the box.

Hi,

I didn’t find anything that could fix the situation from the doc you provided.

I tested to switch the site language to Swedish, and after that I got the login & register page texts in Swedish in my WP site.

So it seems that there is some issue with the FI translation files, I would guess? Since the switching of the plugin language to SE worked as it was supposed to.

Hi,

All texts remain in English, after I have switched the site language to Finnish. For the end user at my WP site, login and registration page texts should be in Finnish so people can understand what they are doing at the site.

I have checked the plugin’s FI language file (opened the .po file with text editor), and there are corresponding translations that are used at those pages (login and registration pages), like field “Last name” has translation of “Sukunimi” (which is correct).

Could you/someone test this language switching with a test site that has the plugin installed? Is the switching of plugin language working dynamically with changing the site language? So is this a bug/feature of the plugin or is it just me that this doesn’t work?

Hi,

Now we are talking about the right thing. So the language of the plugin is bound to the site language.

When I change site language to Finnish, the plugin texts (like login page or creation of new membership account) are still in English.

Is it possible, that the plugin chooses the language only when installing the plugin? Or should it change it dynamically when user changes site language? The site language has been English this far, even though factually the site is in Finnish. So do I need to re-install the whole plugin so that the plugin would pick up the right site language (the language while installing the plugin)?

I’m not looking for instructions how to translate the plugin, translation is available already in the plugin files. I want to take existing translation into use with my WP site.
