 * Hi,
 * great plugin. But I cannot get how to change labels to the correct language. 
   It is in english, while the site is in Italian (set to italian in the WP settings).
   I see that the languages files are correct.
 * Any help?
 * Thankc

 * what area is not the correct language? The back-end interface or the countdown
   that is displayed on the front end?

 * You might want to participate in translating the plugin into Italian here:

 * Hi,
    I’m having the same problem.
    - I’ve added the translation files as downloaded (with the file name t-countdown-
      pt-BR as downloaded) to the
       wp-content/languages/plugins/ directory. – **
      no joy**
    - Added define (‘WPLANG’, ‘pt_BR’); to the config file
    - changed the name to t-countdown-pt_BR – **no joy**
    - changed the name to jquery-t-countdown-widget-pt_BR (same as plugin directory
      name) – **no joy**
    - added the translation files (with the file name t-countdown-pt-BR as downloaded)
      to the
       wp-content/plugins/jquery-t-countdown-widget/languages/ directory –**
      no joy**
    - changed the name to t-countdown-pt_BR – **no joy**
    - changed the name to jquery-t-countdown-widget-pt_BR (same as plugin directory
      name) – **no joy**
 * Not sure what else I can try. Would love some help figuring out what I’m missing.
   Thanks in advance for the great plugin and any help you can give me!

 * Hello!
    Ok, here is the process for the new way of doing things. **Step One:**
   Make sure your Brazilian Portuguese translations are entered here: [https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/pt-br/default/wp-plugins/jquery-t-countdown-widget](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/pt-br/default/wp-plugins/jquery-t-countdown-widget)
 * **Step Two:**
    The translations will need to be approved. Let me know if you 
   are a native speaker, and would like to be granted approval privileges, and we’ll
   get you set up.
 * **Step Three:**
    In your wordpress dashboard, there will be an update available
   under ‘translations’. You simply update the translations and you are done.
 * No more installing or updating .po or .mo files.
    Does this help?

 * Hi Baden!
 * Step One:
    I checked for the pt-BR translations in the link you sent and the 
   weeks, days, etc… are already translated.
 * Step Two:
    They seem to be approved. I am a native speaker and I would be happy
   to help out translating/approving the rest of the strings. 🙂
 * Step Three
    Is this a future feature or should this be available already?
 * No more .po and .mo files is great!
    Thanks for your prompt response!

 * if all you want to translate is the titles for weeks, days, etc… this can be 
   done within the plugin under Dashboard > Settings > T(-) Countdown > Titles
 * The translations will set the initial default values for these titles. once they
   have been stored in the db, they will not automatically be updated with a translation
   update.
 * Hope that helps!
    Issue marked as resolved.
