## Description

atec Translation Status is a diagnostic and maintenance plugin that helps you understand
the real state of translations in WordPress.

Modern WordPress automatically compiles translation files for performance. When 
translations are missing, outdated, or incorrectly loaded, WordPress usually fails
silently — no warnings, no errors.
 This plugin makes translation issues visible
and actionable.

What it does

 * Lists all active (loaded) textdomains
 * Detects whether translation files (.mo) exist
 * Detects whether compiled translation files (.l10n.php) exist (WP 6.5+)
 * Checks whether compiled files are out of date
 * Clearly indicates when:
    - translations are missing
    - compiled files need rebuilding
    - plugins or themes do not follow WordPress translation conventions

What it does not do

 * It does not replace WordPress’ translation system
 * It does not generate translations
 * It does not modify plugin or theme code

Instead, it helps you identify problems, rebuild safely, or contact the responsible
plugin/theme developer with clear evidence.

 2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu.

 4. Review translation states and follow recommendations.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin speed up translations?

Indirectly. WordPress already handles compilation for performance.
 This plugin 
ensures that system is working correctly.

### Can this fix broken plugin translations?

It can rebuild or purge compiled files, but cannot fix broken plugin code.
 If a
plugin does not follow WordPress translation standards, this plugin helps you prove
that.

### Does it work with Polylang / WPML / multilingual plugins?

Yes. It operates at the WordPress gettext level and is compatible with multilingual
setups.
