With this tutorial, we will show you how to configure language files in a WordPress plugin.<\/p>\n

If it’s not already the case, first we need to adapt our WordPress’ core file this way:<\/p>\n

Your file can be index.php for example, but it needs to be in the root folder of your WordPress plugin<\/strong>. We cannot add all details in a WordPress core plugin. Edit it with your parameters of your WordPress plugin.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

\/* \nPlugin Name: Le nom du Plugin \nPlugin URI: https:www.mondomaine.com\/ \nDescription: Explication en une phrase de votre plugin et de ses caractéristiques. \nVersion: La version actuelle (Ex:2.0) \nAuthor: Votre Nom ou nom d'auteur \nAuthor URI: L'adresse du site Web de l'auteur \n*\/ <\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
By adding the following code snippet, we will also secure your file:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) { \n  exit; \n} <\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
Then we need to create a folder called languages<\/strong> where we will include all of our .mo and .po files for the required languages. Afterwards, we need to create a new function which will execute the language files:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
\/**************************************** Load folders Language ************************************\/ \nfunction via_woocommerce_classement_load_plugin_textdomain() { \n$domain = 'woocommerce-classement'; \n$locale = apply_filters( 'plugin_locale', get_locale(), $domain ); \nif ( $loaded = load_textdomain( $domain, trailingslashit( WP_LANG_DIR ) . $domain . '\/' . $domain . '-' . $locale . '.mo' ) ) { \n  return $loaded; \n} \nelse { \n  load_plugin_textdomain( $domain, FALSE, basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '\/languages\/' ); } \n} \nadd_action( 'init', 'via_woocommerce_classement_load_plugin_textdomain' );<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
In the function, we can see that the variable $domain = ‘woocommerce-classement’; is storing the plugin name. It is vital to change it by the name of the WordPress plugin folder. Finally, make sure that your language folder exists.<\/p>\n
Now all that there’s left to do is edit your language files with Poedit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

\n\t\t\t
Here’s how the code snippet should look:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
