 * Hi there,
 * such a great plugin, works like a charm. Nice job.
    I’m trying to figure out,
   how can I translate to other language e.g. error messages after a form submission.
   I tried my usual approach with the plugin loco translate, but it is not working
   for me. Does your plugin support localization?
 * Cheers

 * Hey there, [@ludekcerny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ludekcerny/)!
 * HappyForms fully supports translations, and Loco is our main suggestion for that
   task. Some text values are dynamic though, and you’ll need to configure those
   manually. Out of curiosity, are translations partially working, or not working
   at all for you?
 * Let us know your discoveries!

 * Hi,
 * it is strange then. Dynamic texts are working as expected, but translation is
   not working at all. The messages shown after validation remains in English.

 * Can’t figure out, what can be wrong.
 * Thanks

 * Oh okay, [@ludekcerny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ludekcerny/)!
 * Would you mind double-checking that **System** is chosen as a location when creating
   a new translation with Loco Translate? We have a hunch that will fix it up for
   you.
 * Let us know how you go! 😀

 * Hi,
 * well, it is working now, when I choose **System** as a location for the file.
   
   But as far as I know, this is not the best practice, because update of the plugin
   will overwrite the translation. Am I right?
 * However, thank you for the hint. It saved the situation for now, but I’m curious
   if there is a better solution for the future.
 * Cheers

 * Glad to hear that, [@ludekcerny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ludekcerny/)!
 * System is actually “safe”: files in this location will be overwritten only by
   WordPress language installer. This applies only if you have enabled automatic
   translation updates, and a duplicate language is available on our plugin registry.
   As an extra security update, you could disable automatic language updates.
 * We agree though, we could improve things and support Loco custom locations. Doing
   so would completely decouple languages from updates, and remove any risk of overwriting.
   We’re taking notes!
 * Let us know what you think. 🙂
