Hi, after i added new po and mo file to the plugin file directory, will it be deleted after an update? if so, how can i aviod the po and mo files being deleted?
thanks!
Hi @pyue6299,
These two files should be located in /wp-content/languages/plugins/ directory or better use Loco Translate plugin to relocate the translation files in a safe directory, e.g. in /wp-content/languages/loco/plugins/. Please make sure the po/mo files have wpforo- prefix, without this prefix you’ll they’ll not be processed.
More info here: https://wpforo.com/docs/root/translation/translate-using-pot-file/
In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
I have translated wpforo & wpforo_poll with satisfactory result and saved the files to Langauge > Plugin to aviod file deletion while on updates.
I am translating wpforo_Attach and added to the same directories. But the translation does not take into effect. I then insert the files directly to the pugin folder, also not working.
Please advise.
Thanks!

in which language do you translate
are you using the correct prefix for your language?
Example for German
wpforo_attach-de_DE.mo
wpforo_attach-de_DE.po

@tutrix Traditional Chinese. Please see the file name in the attached image:
wpforo_attach-zh_TW.mo
wpforo_attach-zh_TW.po
sorry I don't know why the translation doesn't work for you
try using Loco Translate as suggested by Alvina
or with Quick Translation – Phrases
