The plugin can be translated using POEDIT or Loco Translate easily. I suggest installing Loco Translate since it's within WordPress and it has a simple UI.
If you want to use POEDIT then please follow these instructions:
1. Download wpdatatables from our TMS Store and save the wpdatatables.zip file on your computer.
4. After that, open the program and open the file from the extracted folder on your computer wpdatatables/languages/en_US/wpdatatables.po.
5. Translate all the strings in your language.
6. Save the file as the plugin suggests (the language code; for example wpdatatables-id_ID.po if your language is Indonesian) and it will generate a new wpdatatables-id_ID.mo file. You can find your language code here.
7. Go to wpdatatables/languages/ folder and create a new folder. Name it as the language code for your language (in our case, for Indonesian, it is id_ID) and then copy these two files called wpdatatables-id_ID.po and wpdatatables-id_ID.mo into it. Proceed with copying the whole folder id_ID back to your website in folder ../wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/languages/.
Of course, you will use language code for your language (we use Indonesian language, and its language code "id_ID" is just an example).
When you finish that, it would be nice to send us the translation, so we can include it in our next major update so you don't have to copy this folder from the local machine on every update.
Hello,
Once I choose language for WPData tables, the translation is not enabled for all elements (e.g. search, clear filters, etc.)
What is the best way to translate this?
I downloaded the PO file and when changed to my language in settings, I don't see any translations.
I don't want to translate everything, I want to simply add a few specific translations to the current language pack version.
What's the best way to achieve this?
Thanks
