Replace / Unload language files in WordPress

  1. add_action( 'unload_textdomain', 'my_unload_textdomain' );
  2.  
  3. function my_unload_textdomain( $domain ) {
  4.  switch($domain){
  5.   case "remove_textdomain":
  6.    unload_textdomain( 'remove_textdomain' );  
  7.    load_plugin_textdomain( 'remove_textdomain', false, $your_location.'/languages/' );
  8.   break
  9.  }
  10. }

Sometimes you might like to store all language files in your own central location, so that translators have one easy place to access all language files.

Put the above into the functions.php and add textdomain handling for those you want to centralize.

Most current plugins should include the option to store language files to the global WordPress language folder, but that is sometimes just not enough  :) Its all about options ;)

Enjoy coding …

I am a full-stack developer. I love programming,  design and know my way around server architecture as well.  I would never feel complete, with one of these missing. I have a broad range of interests, that’s why I constantly dive into new technologies and expand my knowledge where ever required. Technologies are evolving fast and I enjoy using the latest. Apart from that, I am a peace loving guy who tries to have people around him that think the same.  I truly believe in the principle: “If you help someone, someone will help you, when you need it."
