Hello,
I am trying to translate the system messages that appears in a popup in the top right side of the screen (like "invalid email", "working..." ) etc.
But I can't find those language strings in the language file, are they supposed to be there?
Thank you

Alright I think I found most of them
Hi @nican,
All wpForo phrases are located in Dashboard > Forums > Phrases admin page. You can find and change each phrase as you like.
If you don't find the phrase, please, click the [add new] button, insert the identical English version of that phrase as Phrase Key and the translated phrase as Phrase Value.
@alvina Thank you,
I used the .PO and .MO language files (editing via POedit), never thought to use the "phrases" section.
Now That I see it, there is only "english" listed there as a language, how do I add another language? (see https://www.screencast.com/t/yBe1PLOa)
Thanks
You can't use the phrase system for multi-language websites. If your website is a multi-language you should only use the PO/MO system. The wpForo Phrase system is designed for quick changes of phrases or for quick translation of front-end phrases to one language you're currently using on your website.
@martin Thank you for the clarification.
I have a couple of issues thiough in using the PO files.
In the wpforo-it_IT.po some language strings are missing (I mean the original english language strings). I can find those strings int he "phrases" section in backend, but not in the .po file.
When I update wpforo, the .po and .mo files get overridden and I have to upload again the edited ones, is there a way to solve this?
Thank you
The translated PO/MO files should be uploaded in /wp-content/languages/plugins/ so your language files will never been overwritten. WordPress uses files from that directory.
