Hi people I have installed the forum today in anews wordpress site and cant get the pt-br translation to work… well even the WP translation isnt working is the 2.3.2 version. Any idea to solve this?

Hi Swordfish, I did this like I did for others installations, but even those that work, after upgrade to 2.3.2 now dont work anymore. I ask  now at WP foruns to see if anybody knows what is happen.

 Thanks

The answer is that Bluehost now use 64bit, I got the answer in its foruns:

It seems that there´s an issue with the gettext library and wordpress running on x64 based machine. Basically it´s a byte addressing issue regarding the language files located at wp-includes/languages. The system cannot read the .mo file them it loads default english captions.

For Wordpress 2.3.2 open wp-includes/gettext.php and at line 105 find:

// Caching can be turned off
$this->enable_cache = $enable_cache;
// $MAGIC1 = (int)0x950412de; //bug in PHP 5.0.2, see https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=10565
$MAGIC1 = (int) - 1794895138;
// $MAGIC2 = (int)0xde120495; //bug
$MAGIC2 = (int) - 569244523;
// 64-bit fix
$MAGIC3 = (int) 2500072158;
$this->STREAM = $Reader;
$magic = $this->readint();
if ($magic == ($MAGIC1 & 0xFFFFFFFF) || $magic == ($MAGIC3 & 0xFFFFFFFF)) { // to make sure it works for 64-bit platforms
$this->BYTEORDER = 0;
} elseif ($magic == ($MAGIC2 & 0xFFFFFFFF)) {
$this->BYTEORDER = 1;
} else {
$this->error = 1; // not MO file
return false;
}

 Then change it to:

// Caching can be turned off
$this->enable_cache = $enable_cache;
// $MAGIC1 = (int)0x950412de; //bug in PHP 5.0.2, see https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=10565
$MAGIC1 = (int) - 1794895138;
// $MAGIC2 = (int)0xde120495; //bug
$MAGIC2 = (int) - 569244523;
// 64-bit fix
$MAGIC3 = (int) 2500072158;
$this->STREAM = $Reader;
$magic = $this->readint();
if ($magic == $MAGIC1 || $magic == $MAGIC3) { // <- 64 BIT FIX: CHANGE THIS LINE!
$this->BYTEORDER = 0;
} elseif ($magic == ($MAGIC2)) {
$this->BYTEORDER = 1;
} else {
$this->error = 1; // not MO file
return false;
}

 Note the "& 0xFFFFFFFF"s have to be wiped out. Now Wordpress can recognize your .mo file under x64 architecture machines and load the correct language file. Please test it and post any questions, for me it worked.
P.S: Based upon wordpress and gettext forum threads.

I have just instalered Simple Forum on my testsite http://elive.frugalware.dk/?page_id=9 and have the same problem. It doesn’t help to do like GKDantas have suggested. I have two other website at the same host where I use Simple Forum on Danish, here is there no problems. http://frugalware.dk/?page_id=45 and http://danish-wordpress.dk/?page_id=8

At my testste I have instalered Simple Forum after I have instalered WordPress 2.3.2

On my 2 other web pages have instalered Simple Forum when there was WordPress 2.3 but since upgraded to 2.3.2 without problems with the Danish language in Simple Forum

On all my 3 website there stands the following in wp-config.php
define (’WPLANG’, ‘da_DK’);
Is there somebody who can give an explanation on this

(it is named ‘da_Dk’ instead of ‘da_DK’). I doubt that is the problem as it would not explain why it works in one place  and not another.

Sorry Andy it was my mistake, I have changed it and now it works fine. I will send the new files to you. It is of course human to make mistakes, and once in a while even I can write something incorrect! But it is somewhat strange that it seems to be working in some places, but as I have said, the problem has now been solved!
