* (s2Member/s2Member Pro) Translation Support. s2Member and s2Member Pro are now equipped with support for front-end translation, using standardized WordPress® methodologies; i.e. we've implemented the use of _x(), and various other translation routines for many aspects of s2Member's front-end interfaces. For instance, things like Profile panels, Login/Registration Fields, and Pro Form integrations; as well as error messages displayed to Users/Members. Translation support for back-end admin panels provided by s2Member will come in a future release, along with more extensive translation support for front-end aspects.
Please note, this is but our first step toward internationalizing s2Member and s2Member Pro. Look for further updates/improvements to come in the future.
Like WordPress® itself, we chose to use the GNU gettext localization framework to provide localization infrastructure for s2Member®. GNU gettext is a mature, widely used framework for modular translation of software, and is the de facto standard for localization in the open source/free software realm. If you'd like to translate s2Member and/or s2Member Pro, please use the POT file found inside /s2member/includes/translations/s2member.pot, which contains all translation entries for both the s2Member Framework ( i.e. the free version ), and also for s2Member Pro.
The file: /s2member/includes/translations/s2member.pot will be updated with each new release of s2Member. If this is your first translation of a WordPress® plugin, this article and/or this article, might be of some assistance. When you are finished translating the s2member.pot file, place your completed s2member-[locale].mo file into this directory: /s2member/includes/translations/; and please feel free to share your translation with the rest of the s2Member® community.
Quick Tip: If you only need to translate the front-end of s2Member, please ignore entries in the s2member.pot file with a context matching s2member-admin. Those sections of s2Member are only seen by site Administrators; they are NOT used in s2Member's front-end integration with WordPress®. Skipping over translation entries with a context matching s2member-admin can save you time.
