3. PoEdit

PoEdit is a translation tool that you can use to translate PO files and you can use this editor to translate strings of our Wholesale Suite plugins.

Steps:

1. Download and install PoEdit on your computer.

2. After installing, get the pot file of the plugin you want to translate.

In the image below, let’s say we want to translate strings from the WooCommerce Wholesale Prices Premium. You can get the pot file on the plugin folder of your site, then on /woocommerce-wholesale-prices-premium/languages/

3. Open the pot file using PoEdit and create the translation. You can use the search feature to easily locate strings.

4. After adding the translated string, please make sure that the coding format is retained. Once satisfied with the translation, click Save As and it is important that the file is named correctly.

There is a naming convention when saving Pot files to Po and Mo files. It should have the original name and followed by the suffix of the translated language.

In the example below, I’m translating the original English string to the Spanish language so I need to use es_ES suffix.

5. After saving, the Mo and Po translation file should be generated and you can upload it to your site using FTP and place it inside the same language folder of the translated Pot file.

Additional Notes:

WordPress has a repository of translated plugins by the contributors for the free plugin. You can search our WooCommerce Wholesale Prices plugin if there’s a contributor that started a project to translate our plugin. You can check plugin projects here: https://translate.wordpress.org/
