Edit .PO files correctly

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone!

Since I found some Du/Sie inconsistencies in the German .PO files, I tried to edit them via the PO/MO plugin. Although the plugin told me that the files have been updated and recompiled successfully, the changes don’t have any effect.

How do I edit them correctly?

Best regards,
Kortschnoi

The German translation is handled via wordpress glotpress:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/events-made-easy

So corrections need to be done there.

Hm, I’d like to change

“Du bist dabei die folgenden Buchungen zu stornieren:”

into

“Sie sind dabei die folgenden Buchungen zu stornieren:”

But I can’t find it there. For a theatre, it’s not kind to say “Du” to an unknown visitor…

P.S.: By the way, the cancelling site also says,

“Du bist dabei die folgenden Buchungen zu stornieren:

31. Dezember 2017 19:30: Silvesterparty (1 places)”

Where can I change this “places” into “Plätze”?

If you export the current wordpress translations, you can search for those strings.

#: eme_rsvp.php:535
msgid “You’re about to cancel the following bookings:”
msgstr “Du bist dabei die folgenden Buchungen zu stornieren:”

Concerning the second question: currently this is can’t be changed (an oversight from the past). I’ll add an option for this.

This change should allow “places” to be translated:

I didn’t manage to export the translation. I couldn’t find any manual or instructions on the internet.

Does some know how to bring this correction into the official German translation of EME?

Normally I wuld say to contact the wordpress translator team, but since someone is already translating in German: contact Joerg Knoerchen (see the file ‘translators’ in the EME plugin dir)
