Frequently asked questions

• Why is jQuery Tinytips not available in my language?

I speak German and English fluently, but unfortunately no other language well enough to do a translation.

Would you like to help? Translating the plugin is easy if you understand English and are fluent in another language.

• How do I translate jQuery Tinytips?

Take a look at the WordPress site and identify your langyage code:
http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language

E.g. the language code for German is “de_DE”.

Step 1) download POEdit (http://www.poedit.net/)

Step 2) download jQuery Colorbox (from your FTP or from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jquery-tinytips/)

Step 3) copy the file localization/jquery-tinytips-en_EN.po and rename it. (in this case jquery-tinytips-de_DE.po)

Step 4) open the file with POEdit.

Step 5) translate all strings. Things like “{total}” or “%1$s” mean that a value will be inserted later.

Step 5a) The string that says “English translation by Arne …”, this is where you put your name, website (or email) and your language in.

Step 5b) (optional) Go to POEdit -> Catalog -> Settings and enter your name, email, language code etc

Step 6) Save the file. Now you will see two files, jquery-tinytips-de_DE.po and jquery-tinytips-de_DE.mo.

Step 7) Upload your files to your FTP server into the jQuery Tinytips directory (usually /wp-content/plugins/jquery-tinytips/)

Step 8 ) When you are sure that all translations are working correctly, send the po-file to me and I will put it into the next jQuery Tinytips version.
