Plugins, themes and WordPress
Find the translations of one plugin, one theme or WordPress itself.
Where a text belongs
Every text belongs to a text domain, the name a plugin or theme gives its texts. Locol Translate turns that name into something you can read: the name of the plugin or theme, a badge that says Plugin, Theme or WordPress, and the text domain in small type.
- WordPress is WordPress itself, text domain
default. - Plugin and Theme are installed plugins and themes, shown by the name in their header.
- Other is a text domain that does not belong to anything installed, for example a plugin you removed.
