Blank WordPress Pot allows developpers to have a great starting point for their translations pot files and translators an explanation HowTo use the file.
Description
Developpers and translators sometimes get a little confused when they want to start translating their WordPress files. Blank WordPress Pot provides the starting point to create the Ready to Translate .pot file. In a few clicks your WordPress's plugin or extension will be ready to incorporate your translated strings. No more default.po or .pot without the right settings.
Features of the files include
-
Right propreties set (utf-8, plurals).
-
Right path set.
-
All keywords include.
-
A How To file for translators to explain how to use the pot file
How does it work?
- Create the "languages" folder right at the base of your root folder.
- Put Blank-WordPress.pot and the HowTo file inside.
- Rename Blank-WordPress.pot with the slug of your plugin or extension.
- In catalog -> preferences -> settings : change the properties to match your WordPress file name -> ok.
- Push the update button in poedit main ui to fetch and update the translated strings.
- Save (if a notice ask you to pick a language just pick "none of this"). Use your textdomain name if it's a plugin or only en_US for the name of your file.
- Exit and that's it.
Now the translators have a pot file ready to be used, and an HowTo to tell them what to do in case of need.
No more hassle for you and for them...
