Translations Not Showing

Eventonomy overviewFree + ProGet Eventonomy →

Eventonomy and Eventonomy Pro ship with German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese. Every string can be translated.

Symptom: Labels and emails stay in English after you install the plugin.

Cause: WordPress picks the language from your site or user setting.

Fix:

  1. Go to Settings → General and set Site Language. Pick the exact variant, such as Deutsch or Português do Brasil.
  2. Open Users → Profile and check your own Language, which can override the site.
  3. Clear any page cache.

Cause: Only those six ship with the plugin.

Fix: Add your own translation with a tool such as Loco Translate, using the eventonomy text domain (and eventonomy-pro for Pro). Save it in WordPress’s language folder so updates do not overwrite it.

A translation exists but some strings stay English

Section titled “A translation exists but some strings stay English”

Symptom: Most labels translate, a few do not.

Cause: The translation files are older than your plugin version, or the compiled .mo file was not regenerated after you edited the .po file.

Fix: Compile the .mo file again, or update the translation. Update Free and Pro together so both language files match.

The URL base (event by default) is set separately. Change it under Event URLs in Settings → Setup, then save Settings → Permalinks. See Permalinks Settings.

Titles and descriptions you write are your content. Eventonomy translates its own interface, not your events. Use a multilingual plugin for event content.
