How to use existing translations and create your own.
IntroductionExisting translations are included with stable releases from 1.3. To use the translations follow the general Wordpress instructions for setting another language. Once you have set the desired language, the corresponding language should apply on the Sandbox theme as well (if language files were provided in our zip). The following provides information on how to create your own translations. You might want to check with us or the trunk (next version) before you start translating to make sure that a translation is not forthcoming. Translations can be added to this project by starting a new issue (the Issues tab) and attaching your .mo and .po files. For the unexperienced: the following rough guide is provided. If you are experienced use the provided sandbox.pot from the forthcoming version. How to translate to your own language?
Once you have finalized your translation, open a new issue (the Issues tab) and attach the .po and .mo files. It will then be included in the next Sandbox release! Please remember to state the version of Sandbox on which you based your localization. How to enhance an existing translation?Not happy with the quality of the translation provided or is it of a different country variation than yours? Download the closest .po file in the /sandbox-translation/ subfolder and edit away like described above. If you feel that your translation is of significantly better quality, please open a ticket and we'll see if we change and talk to the previous translator about his opinions. If you have a local variation of your language (e.g. Colombian Spanish) which we don't have, then that will of course be added as a separate file. Just remember to change to the appropriate language code or tell us your country and language and we will try. How to update a translation to the latest version of sandboxTranslations can easily be updated to be valid for the latest version of Sandbox. First obtain a copy of the translation you want to update and the sandbox.pot file from the Sandbox version you wish to use (preferably trunk if you're updating for a new Sandbox release).
Don't forget to submit your translation to make sure it's included in the distribution and on this site. References: Danish Sandbox and Swedish Sandbox Thanks to Jan Reister for tip on updating translations. |

I translated Sandbox into Italian and would love to share it. Where exactly do I submit Italian MO and PO? BTW the above link does not conduct to any POT for Sandbox. Anyways you do not need it since PoEdit? happily does the whole job for you generating MO and PO, which is all you need. I recomend very much the excellent article on UrbanGiraffe?.com on localizing themes. http://urbangiraffe.com/articles/translating-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/
My apologies. I hadn't added the POT file that was provided. It is available as of . . . right now! Anyhow, the MO and PO files can be emailed to me for inclusion: swallick AT gmail DOT com. Thanks!
WordPress? Chinese Team transtaled Sandbox into Simplified Chinese, and sent the language files via e-mail to you.
I'm having difficulties in creating the .mo file with Poedit. I'm able to create the .po file, but I guess Poedit is having troubles creating the .mo file. I get the following error:
Anyways. I posted the .po file in my personal website. However, as you see, I'm not able to test it with my installation of Sandbox. ):
hi adriano.
There are some HTML and others errors in what you have translated. PoEdit? will report errors and stop if coding is not replicated in the translated version. I've fixed and sent for inclusion in the code. Usually you can find out by reading the poedit error codes and either checking the lines it reports errors on or just reading the errors.
For others - be careful to put all coding exactly as it is in the English version. You must also specify a language team for poedit to be happy.
I've sent the fixed po and mo files to be included in the next version.
Ah... okay. Thanks for your help, Kjell.
I translated Sandbox into Turkish and would love to share it. You Can find it at my blog -> http://abdullaharik.com/
Sandbox'ı Türkçe'ye çevirdim ve bunu herkesle paylaşmaktan mutluluk duyacağım. Dosyayı blog sitemde bulabilirsiniz. -> http://abdullaharik.com/
Where are the instructions so one can use the translations? I can't find them here. For months I want to test my translation but I don't know how.
Dumb me. Just seen it's only setting the language in the wp-config file. Gosh!

Spanish localization :) http://blog.moskis.net/downloads/sandbox-en-espanol/
I made an alternative translation in Dutch (nl_NL) which suited my blog better. Creating the mo and po files went well and my translation worked on my blog.
A bit later I found a typing error. I corrected it, uploaded the new files, but the error was still on my blog (emptied cache, tried other browsers).
Then I disabled the language setting in wp-config by adding comment-slashes. Everyting turned to English as expected. I deleted all nl_NL-files from the /sandbox/translations folder, downloaded the original nl_NL files from this site, uploaded them and switched Wordpress back to Dutch.
The Wordpress admin pages and the month names etc changed back to Dutch as expected, but the Sandbox texts are still in English. I checked over and over again: the original nl_NL files are where they're supposed to be (chmodded to 777) but still my Blog is in English.
What would you advise me to do? I just can't think of anything else any more.
(I have set my entire Blog to Italian: uploaded the it_IT.mo file for Wordpress to the Wordpress translations folder , uploaded the it_IT.mo file for Sandbox to the sandbox translations folder, changed wp-config. The same thing: Wordpress admin and month names are in Italian, but the specific Sandbox texts are still in English. I must be doing something completely wrong.)
The nl_NL file for Sandbox is supposed to go into the Sandbox theme folder, not the Sandbox/translations folder. And you definitely shouldn't set the permissions for this to 777! Change that back to 644 asap.
I've just uploaded a new Dutch translation for Sandbox 1.6 at http://code.google.com/p/sandbox-theme/issues/detail?id=135
@patriciarits: I haven't had time to work on my blog, but as I've got a few days off, I tried your suggestion. And guess what: that's it! Stupid me, and thank you so much.

Is there anything else that needs to be done for the translation to work? I've put my pt_BR.mo file on the root of the theme and nothing happens. Poedit says the file is ok.
Nevermind, PEBCAK. The server's locale is en_US, so even if my translation is pt_BR i have to rename the file for it to work.
i read there is a German version, but cant find it. and the link http://sandbox-theme.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/sandbox-translation/sandbox.pot doesnt work anymore
anybody got an idea?
