WordPress Daily Routine

Text strings aren’t translatable or plugin ignores multilingual frameworks.

Plugin Doesn’t Support Translations or Multilingual Setup

Key Points: You can’t translate plugin strings, or it conflicts with WPML/Polylang/TranslatePress.

You build a bilingual site — but the plugin insists on showing buttons and messages in one language only. Or worse, it breaks translations across your site. That’s poor i18n/l10n support.

🌐 Root Issues

• Plugin doesn’t use __() or _e() functions for strings
• No .pot file or translation domain provided
• Plugin conflicts with language switchers or translated URLs

🛠️ Fix or Workaround

1. Check if plugin offers language packs via WordPress.org
2. Use Loco Translate or Poedit to manually translate strings
3. Contact author to request proper localization support

📢 Note

Multilingual sites depend on cooperation between theme, plugin, and translator — even one outlier breaks the experience.
