 * In my child theme’s Package Details the template is bbpress.pot.
    How do I change
   it or delete it? I use translation in the parent theme directly. Thank you

 * I don’t fully understand the problem, but if your child theme has its own text
   domain it can have its own POT file too. If for some reason Loco can’t work out
   what the text domain is supposed to be, then just create a new POT file yourself
   in the child theme and Loco will take the text domain from that.

 * In the plugin’s admin page, in the Package tab:
    the Template (POT) column shows
   the template of the child theme is bbpress.pot. I don’t have bbpress.pot in the
   child theme’s directory. The parent’s template shows different template (a .po
   not .pot) which comes from the theme. The child directory has subdir of child-
   theme/language which conatin the correct po and mo file. How do I change the 
   template (or delete it) of the child to point to the po file ?

 * Put the .pot, .po, .mo files in the /childtheme/languages/. Loco Translator doesn’t
   pickup the pot or the po.
    The same when the files are in /childtheme/.

 * Stupid me 🙂
    I’m unaware that I connect via ftp to my dev server but display
   my production in the browser. So I modify the directory and files etc doesn’t
   show any effect. So just forget the question above. Thankyou anyway for your 
   prompt response.
