Development Utilities

Translation

Update Translation Files

1. After adding or editing translatable strings, you need to regenerate the POT file:

   cd integration-wordpress
   composer make-pot
   

2. Next, update the PO files, which contain the language translations:

   composer update-po
   

3. Open the PO files (e.g. power-captcha-de_DE.po) and manually translate each string. Once all strings are translated, you must regenerate the JSON translation files:

   composer make-json
   

4. Finally, regenerate the MO files:

   composer make-mo
   

Adding a New Language

To add a new language translation, create a new PO file in power-captcha/languages/power-captcha/ with the appropriate language code as the suffix. For example: power-captcha-es_ES.po.

After adding the file, follow the steps from Update Translation Files (as described above).
