Esperanto for BuddyPress

Thanks to Maximiliano Catania for providing the translated files I have been able to setup BuddyPress (Social Plugin for WordPress) in Esperanto. Here is a quick demonstration of what to do :

Firstly, I would recommend installing wordpress in Esperanto : http://bertilow.com/komputo/wordpress.html

Then install Buddypress as normal.

The following links are the files you will need to use BuddyPress in Esperanto. These translations are done under the x-convention format. To use correct encoding then please use my “X-koncencio kromajxo” (X-convenction plugin).

• buddypress-Esperanto.po
• buddypress-Esperanto.mo
• X-koncencio kromajxo

Additionally, here are the translation files for BBPress under BuddyPress :

• bbpress-Esperanto.po
• bbpress-Esperanto.mo

You will need to place the MO & PO file in your /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages directory.

Then create the /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file (or add to your existing file if present) :

<?
define( 'BPLANG', 'eo-EO' );
if ( !defined( 'BP_PLUGIN_DIR' ) )
        define( 'BP_PLUGIN_DIR', WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/buddypress' );

if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-languages/buddypress-' . BPLANG . '.mo' ) ) {
    load_textdomain( 'buddypress', BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-languages/buddypress-' . BPLANG . '.mo' );
}
?>

The esperanto will be in x-convenction (‘cxio‘ opposed to ‘ĉio‘). To enable the correct encoding you will need to activate the xkoncenio plugin by placing the xkoncencio.php file in your /wp-content/plugins directory. Then from the plugin dashboard, activate the plugin. This plug-in converts all x-convention translations into properly html encoded esperanto characters.
