 * Hi [@iliasstiv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iliasstiv/) ,
 * Thank you for raising this issue.
 * Could you please update the contents of the `.pot` file located at:
 * `woo-product-category-discount/languages/woo-product-category-discount.pot`
 * Please replace its current contents with the content from the file shared here.
   This will ensure that all translatable strings from the plugin are displayed 
   correctly in the Loco Translate menu.
 * Since the language file cannot be edited through the WordPress File Editor or
   any other File Editor plugins, you can update it using FTP, cPanel File Manager,
   or another method that allows direct access to the plugin files.
 * We will include this as a permanent fix in the plugin itself in the next plugin
   update.
