    Hi @wpchefgadget,

    I just translated your plugin to es_VE and I noticed that one string is not well formatted, I mean this one:

    $this->show_error( __( 'The "'. $ip .'" IP range is invalid', 'limit-login-attempts-reloaded' ) );

    In the translation project, this line stop just before the variable, because the function __() doesn’t support it:

    Issue with string with variable

    You can fix this issue rewriting the line this way:

    /* translators: %s: IP number*/
    $this->show_error( sprintf(__( 'The %s IP range is invalid', 'limit-login-attempts-reloaded' ), $ip) );

    Please note I added a comment above the line. That is necessary to understand what data is stored in the placeholder. Take a look to developer documentation about this topic for more info.

    Hope this helps you!
