As the title said, here we will discuss the simplest and fastest way to translate dokan here Essence Not only
dokan , this is also applicable to any other WordPress plug -in and theme.
However, if you are already an experienced WordPress user, then you can directly jump to
\”How to translate\” to take further action.
So let’s start watching the Dokan translation process step by step.
How does translation work in wordpress?
If you are a novice translated by WordPress and do not know, then you may find it difficult to understand, but don’t worry, I understand! You will soon be a professional.
If you set your website language from WordPress for the first time, then you may have noticed that some menu tabs in the left sidebar on the left sidebar of WP-Admin [123
have not been translated.
In addition, if you choose your local language during the installation of WordPress, and then install some plugins You should have noticed that the tab of the newly installed plug -in is still English. Let’s take a look at the following example.
As you saw in the screenshot on it, I have switched my website language into Spanish marked with green. But do you notice the area where the red label? These string are still English. So what may happen?
If you observe it carefully, you will find that only the default WordPress menu is automatically translated, and all other string related to the 3rd square plugin is not translated. This is because when you switch the site language, WordPress will create a
\”Language\”
folder in
\”wp-content\” folder.
Now, if you look at the
\”Language\”
folder, you will see the translation file shown below.
Basically, WordPress will find translation files in the \”
folder. The red label file is automatically generated by WordPress. That’s why we see the default WordPress menu of the translation language without doing anything.
However, the third side plug -in or theme cannot be done. Therefore, you must manually place translation files, or you can start from scratch, but remember, you cannot simply place the translation files anywhere. There are some rules that need to be complied with.
Things to be considered before starting the WordPress plug -in translation
As mentioned above, you need to follow some basic WordPress rules to make it work normally.
01. File name: (text domain)-(localcode)
File name is very important. If there is no correct file name, WordPress will not be able to identify the translation file. Therefore, translation will not be reflected. If you are a novice WordPress, the file name structure mentioned above may be confused. Let’s see some examples:
Assuming you want to translate Dokan Lite plug -in. First of all, you need to know the
Text Domain
and local . So where can I find it? Each plug -in and theme has a
pluginname.php
file in the plug -in folder. Therefore, there should be a file called \”Dokan.php\” in the Dokan Lite plug -in folder.
Let’s go /wp-content/plugins/dokan-like
You can as expected expected See the
dokan.php file inside. Now, let’s open the file. However, you can use any good text editor to open the file.
After opening the file dokan.php, you can accommodateThe text domain of the plug-in is
Dokan-Lite
.
Now you have a text domain. We have one more thing to deal with. Here, you have a text domain to find the regional settings of the national language so that you can translate your website. For this special situation, when you translate into Spanish. So it is best to find a easier language environment code than the text domain. Therefore, you only need to access here and find the correct WordPress language environment .
Let us find
Spanish (Spain)
from the list
WordPress language environment .
According to the list,
Spain (Spain)
WordPress language environment
is ES_ES
. Therefore, you have a text domain and WordPress language environment.
So follow the correct file name of WordPress rules and dokan, the Lite plug-in is: (TextDomain)-(localCode) \u003d Dokan-Lite-ES_ES
Do I still remember the translation file I mentioned in a language folder in the language folder? Well, there are two positions to place files:
For plugins: wp-content/languaGES/Plugins.
For theme:
wp-content/language/themes or
wp-conflic Languages \u200b\u200b
You need middle.
This is a system folder. why is that? Because if you put the file directly in the plug -in/theme folder, your translation file will be deleted. This is why the file is best placed in the system folder so that you will not lose the translation.

] From the list above, you can watchThere are two files to the Dokan plug -in (if you have a DOKAN PRO version). Important Tips : Dokan Lite and Dokan Pro depend on each other, but act as a separate plug -in
In this case, you need to translate these two files Essence First, let’s start using
Dokan Lite .
Now click the \” New Language
\” option, you will see the following screen.
First, you need to choose a translation language. In our example, we will choose
Spanish (Spain).
Here, you will see the default system location.
If you update or delete the plug -in, select
System location will prevent you from losing important files.
In addition, do you notice that Loco Translator can automatically detect the language environment code of TextDomain and WordPress? Therefore, when you use Loco Translator, you don’t need to consider these things too much, unless in some cases.

to skip the template \” or \”
to create The template
\”to overcome this error, and the final result will be shown below.
如您所见，您只有4 Pass string to translate! There may be some problems. right?
Okay, let us solve this problem.
First click \”
Dokan Pro
\” first Exit the translation editor screen.
Click
Advanced
tab. As you can see,
template file
is lost. The template file is basically a
POT
file, which contains all the source string of the plugin or theme. POT files can be found in the
language
folder of the corresponding plug -in folder.
So in the case of Dokan Pro , it should be Language/Dokan.pot
.
In addition, the text domain is incorrect. Loco Translation tries to automatically detect plug -in or theme text domains to make our lives easier.
Dokan Pro’s text domain is
Dokan . In addition, the file prefix should be the same as the text domain.
After correcting everything, it should be shown below.
Now let us go back to start translation.
All source string of Dokan Pro They are all displayed. efficient!
Therefore, if you encounter such problems when using Loco Translator, you know what to do.
When you already have a WordPress plug -in translation file
Most most The plug -in has ready -made translation files. Some are completely translated, and some are partial translation. You can use these files so you don’t need to start from scratch.
