FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package translations-installer

WPPack Translations Installer

CI PHP Version

日本語版 README

Composer plugin that downloads translation files for WordPress core, plugins and themes from wordpress.org, as the packages are installed or updated.

A fork of bjornjohansen/wplang, brought into the WPPack package family.

Supports Composer v2 only. Requires PHP 8.2+ and ext-zip.

Installation

Add the configuration to composer.json (paths are relative to the project root, i.e. the directory holding composer.json):

Then:

Composer asks to trust the plugin on first install; allow it (or pre-seed config.allow-plugins):

Usage

Nothing to run: whenever a package of type wordpress-core, wordpress-plugin or wordpress-theme is installed or updated, the matching language packs are fetched from the wordpress.org translations API and unpacked into the configured directory — core at its root, plugins and themes under plugins/ and themes/, the same layout WordPress itself uses under wp-content/languages.

The core package is not tied to roots/wordpress: any package that declares "type": "wordpress-core" (e.g. roots/wordpress, johnpbloch/wordpress-core) is picked up. Core translations are looked up on wordpress.org by version only, so the package name does not matter.

Packages that have no translations for the configured locales print a note and are skipped; the install itself never fails because of translations.

Commands

Language packs on wordpress.org are often updated after a package release, so the plugin also ships two commands that can be run at any time:

Downloads translations for every installed WordPress package. Only locales that are missing locally or outdated on wordpress.org are fetched; current ones are skipped. Failures are reported per package and never fail the command.

Read-only report of every package × locale: Up to date, Outdated (local and remote timestamps shown), Missing or Not available. Exits with code 1 when anything can be updated, so it doubles as a CI freshness check:

How freshness is decided

The wordpress.org API reports an updated timestamp per language pack; the installed .po file carries the same timestamp in its PO-Revision-Date header. The plugin compares the two — the same mechanism WordPress core uses for its own language pack updates. There is no state file: the installed files are the record, so deleting a .po simply causes that locale to be re-downloaded. Downloads always unpack the full pack (.po, .mo and .l10n.php).

The same check runs in the install/update hooks, so unchanged translations are not re-downloaded there either.

Credits

This package was started by Angry Creative, has been rewritten by Bjørn Johansen, integrates compatibility changes made by Mirai and was updated to support Composer v2. The WPPack edition modernizes the codebase for PHP 8.2+.
