When a new theme version is released/updated, the translation .po must be updated as well to find the new terms added in:
- wp_content/themes/wprentals/languages/wprentals.po
- wp_content/plugins/wprentals-core/lanaguages/wprentals-core.po
–> http://www.marketpressthemes.com/blog/how-to-merge-two-po-files-using-poedit/
Step #1
Open up your existing language PO file with Poedit software.
The files are in:
- wp_content/themes/wpresidence/languages/wprentals.po
- wp_content/plugins/wpresidence-core/lanaguages/wprentals-core.po
Step #2
Go to Catalog and select Update from POT file
Step #3 – First, change the file type option to All Files, then select:
- the new wpresidence.po PO file from wprentals/languages/wprentals.po
- the new wpresidence-core.po PO file from plugins/wprentals-core/lanaguages/wprentals-core.po
Step #4 (OPTIONAL)
Next, you’ll see a mini box which includes all the new strings as well as obsolete string from the new PO file. Proceed by clicking the ok button.
Step #5
Once the import is completed, all the new string from the new PO file will be added and your existing (translated) string will remain intact as well.
Step #5 – Finally, proceed to translate all the new string into your preferred language. Save. Move the updated .po and .mo language file back:
- wp_content/themes/wprentals/languages/wprentals.po – theme langauge file
- wp_content/plugins/wprentals-core/lanaguages/wprentals-core.po – plugin langauge file
