Heroic Knowledge Base is fully translation ready. To translate the plugin you need to copy and edit the PO file (ht-knowledge-base/languages/ht-knowledge-base-en_US.po).
Copy the file and rename the file with the relevant WordPress locale, for example if you were translating the file into French, rename the file ht-knowledge-base-fr_FR.po.
Using a program such as PO Edit (http://poedit.net/), you can edit the translations directly.
Ensure all your plugin folder (ht-knowledge-base) is on your local machine before starting the translation.
1. Open the PO translation file in PO Edit, first click Update to update the translation source.
2. Open the Catalog Properties from Catalog > Properties and select the language, select OK.
3. Now you can go through the source text and enter your translations.
4. Click Validate then Save the translations, the PO file will be updated and an MO file will be generated.
5. Upload the new/updated language files to your WordPress installation.
6. Set your WordPress language, either with a plugin such as WordPress localize or WPML. Or manually update the WP_LANG constant in your WordPress config.php file.
// WordPress Localized Language, defaults to English.
define ('WPLANG', 'fr_FR');
