hi all,

wordpress is a very powerfull blog publishing application. it supports multilanguage. and its using (mo) and (po) files as languages files. po files are editable language file, where mo is a binary file.

normally language translation are prepared as po files. then they compiled to mo files. but today we will do the opposite thing. this is because it comes times when you can not find the po files. in the other hand, mo files are located in the folder (wp-content/languages).

first step is to download an editor such as Poedit. after installing it, open the command prompt and change the directory to where Poedit is installed. then move to “bin” directory. usually its “C:\Program Files\Poedit\bin”.

second step is to copy the mo file to “bin” directory. then issue this command: “msgunfmt input.mo > output.po”

now you can open the po file using Poedit and modify the language file as you want. when you save the po file, Poedit will automaticlly compile a new mo file. now you should upload the new mo file to your site.

all the best :)
