Title: loco translate plugin problem Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # loco translate plugin problem * Resolved [emcm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emcm/) * (@emcm) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loco-translate-plugin-problem/) * Hello, I am trying to use loco translate, but it doesn’t translate. In the comments is written [@qode](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qode/), so I think it might not be possible. I do want to translate some words, so what do I do then? The river child theme is what I am using.

I already saw it in the faqs, but it doesn’t resolve the problem. River is the theme I use, but they cannot support me anymore. Hope you can help me. * Plugin Author [Tim W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timwhitlock/) * (@timwhitlock) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loco-translate-plugin-problem/#post-7496921) * Marking as resolved because version 2.0 is in beta and should fix the long-standing JSON parsing issue. [https://localise.biz/help/wordpress/translate-plugin/developers](https://localise.biz/help/wordpress/translate-plugin/developers) * If you still have problems with your theme in version 2, please open a new ticket and provide a download link to the theme source code. * Thread Starter [emcm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emcm/) * (@emcm) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loco-translate-plugin-problem/#post-7496924) * Thank you for your answer but unfortunatly it is still not working. Now I get this: Empty PO data And how do I provide a download link to the theme source code? as you asked me to do? Thanks for now. * Plugin Author [Tim W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timwhitlock/) * (@timwhitlock) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loco-translate-plugin-problem/#post-7496925) * Are you saying you get the Empty PO data in version 2.0? * How you provide access to your theme source code is down to you. Open source themes are all found here: [https://wordpress.org/themes/](https://wordpress.org/themes/) There is no support for paid-for themes. * Thread Starter [emcm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emcm/) * (@emcm) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loco-translate-plugin-problem/#post-7496927) * Yes, so I think I must have done something wrong. * Plugin Author [Tim W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timwhitlock/) * (@timwhitlock) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loco-translate-plugin-problem/#post-7496928) * I’ve identified a bug in version 2.0 that produces “Empty PO data” due to “magic quotes”. Looking into a fix now. Thanks. * Plugin Author [Tim W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timwhitlock/) * (@timwhitlock) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loco-translate-plugin-problem/#post-7496930) * I’ve deployed a fix to the development branch for this. Can you let me know if you still get “Empty PO data”? * Thread Starter [emcm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emcm/) * (@emcm) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loco-translate-plugin-problem/#post-7496931) * Thank you! This has been fixed, I don’t get that anymore. But I still don’t see my translation, so I think it has to do with my ignorance. * Plugin Author [Tim W](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timwhitlock/) * (@timwhitlock) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loco-translate-plugin-problem/#post-7496932) * I suggest you contact your theme vendor for help. * Also worth looking at the following page for theme authors: [https://localise.biz/help/wordpress/translate-plugin/authors](https://localise.biz/help/wordpress/translate-plugin/authors) * Thread Starter [emcm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emcm/) * (@emcm) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loco-translate-plugin-problem/#post-7496933) * I will do that.
