Install and activate
Upload the plugin, activate it, and find the toolbar item and the admin menu.
Requirements
| Item | Needed |
|---|---|
| WordPress | 6.2 or newer |
| PHP | 7.4 or newer |
| Account | An administrator for the first set up |
Install
- 1Get the file.
Download the plugin from the download section of this site.
- 2Upload it.
In wp-admin open Plugins, then Add New Plugin, then Upload Plugin. Choose the zip file and click Install Now.
- 3Activate it.
Click Activate Plugin.
You can also unpack the zip and copy the locol-translate folder to wp-content/plugins/, then activate it from the Plugins screen.
What you get
- A Locol Translate item in the admin toolbar, on admin pages and on your site, for people who may translate.
- A Locol Translate menu with six screens: Translations, Overview, History, Import / Export, Settings and System.
- Three database tables for your translations, their history and the list of known texts. They are created when you activate the plugin.
Remove it
Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen removes its tables and settings. Export your translations first if you want to keep them. See Import and export.
Note
Locol Translate does not change .po or .mo files. It works next to other translation plugins: WordPress loads the language files first, then Locol Translate replaces the texts you translated.
