    Hi Community

    I’m developing an extension for WordPress and WooCommerce.
    The extension is working very fine, only the localization is not working.

    I included in the header of my main pluginfile this lines:

     * Text Domain: myextension
 * Domain Path: /i18n/languages/

    In my code I used the __ and _e functions like this:
    __( 'Example string', 'myextension' )

    And I moved my .po and .mo files in ‘myextension/i18n/languages/’.
    My .po files look like this:
    ‘myextension-de_DE.po’:

    msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: My Extension 1.0\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2016-09-07 11:08+0200\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2016-09-07 11:51+0200\n"
"Language-Team: Me <x@x.x\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"X-Generator: Poedit 1.8.9\n"
"X-Poedit-Basepath: ..\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);\n"
"X-Poedit-KeywordsList: __;_e\n"
"Last-Translator: \n"
"Language: de\n"
"X-Poedit-SearchPath-0: .\n"
"X-Poedit-SearchPath-1: classes\n"
"X-Poedit-SearchPath-2: functions\n"
"X-Poedit-SearchPathExcluded-0: i18n\n"

#: classes/Example.php:128
msgid "Example string"
msgstr "Beispiel String"

...... cutted

    But, if I change the language in Settings>general to German, everything is translated except everything from my plugin.

    So, where did I failed?

    I also tried to delete and reinstall my plugin. Also I tried to switch the language a few times.

    Ok I figured it out.

    I had to add this:

    function myextension_i18n() {

	// get the directory containing the .mo file, relative to the plugin directory
	$i18n_dir = plugin_basename( GRDS_IP_DIR . '/i18n/languages' );

	// For WordPress 2.6 and up, the directory must end with a trailing slash
	if ( substr( $i18n_dir, -1 ) != '/' ) {
		$i18n_dir .= '/';
	}

	// Load translation files
	if( load_plugin_textdomain( 'myextension', false, $i18n_dir ) ){
		return true;
	} 
	return false;

}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'myextension_i18n');
