Translate any plugin page
You do not translate "a plugin" from a list. You open the screen you want to change and translate what you see there, in wp-admin or on your site.
Open the page you want to change
Choose any plugin you want to translate and go to its screen. That may be its Settings screen, a list screen, or a page on your site. Any page that shows text from a plugin or theme works.
Turn on translate mode
- 1Click Locol Translate in the toolbar.
The page reloads once and every translatable text gets an outline. If the toolbar is hidden, use the floating button at the bottom left, or add
?lt_translate=1to the address. - 2Click a text.
A small editor opens next to it. Choose the language for this text, then type the translation or press Generate.
- 3Save.
The text changes on the page at once and stays after you leave. Press Exit to leave translate mode.
Different texts on one page can have different languages. Translate the button into French and the heading into Spanish if you like.
Admin pages and your site
Translate mode works in wp-admin and on the front end. On the front end, the buttons and labels of a shop or form plugin can be translated the same way. Visitors never see the outlines.
When a text cannot be translated
Only texts that go through WordPress translation functions are listed. Text typed straight into a template, or stored in the database (page titles, posts, menus), is not covered. See Troubleshooting.
