I don’t know anything about TranslatePress.
If you want to ask about plugins working together, we need to discuss the specifics of the actual functionality. What are the particular compatibility issues you are concerned about? Loco Translate is a file editor. You are asking about dynamic language switching which Loco Translate is not involved in.
TranslatePress allows me to edit the strings using an editor, but also allows me to create a language selection menu … my concern is that both editors collide with each other causing errors. Maybe LocoTranslate detects that I have previously updated a string (with the other plugin) and does not mark it as pending.

You can edit PO files with as many different file editors as you like. If the PO files they both create are valid and standard, then they can be used interchangeably.
I can’t make any guarantees about TranslatePress, but it is common for people to use Loco Translate with other editors, such as POEdit. This on its own poses no “collision” risk.

The “pending” state reflects the contents of the file. It makes no difference what editor was used previously. If a translation is not entered, then it is pending. If it was entered using another plugin then it would not be pending.
Ok perfect, it makes sense.
In the end, just edit a file, it doesn’t matter how many plugins it is made with.
Okay great, thanks a lot for the help 🙂
Have a nice day!
