@rafkika,
Can I use .mo files for plugins instead of translating each of them through the admin?
Translations of which part?
Hi Gunu,
It would be to translate plugins (comments plugins) or my theme’s copy (words like posted by, date etc…).

@rafkika,
If the plugins have language files then it will use that, sure.
So it depends on your plugins.
Look in the plugin directory if language files are present.
I translated the default language files in French and saved the files in the language directories. So I assume I just need to rename the default files with en (as they were in english) and wordpress will automatically select them when a user changes the language using the q translate x widget?

If you have not changed the name you’ll overwrite the default language files…..

You better had first make a copy with the correct language (code) name.
and saved the files in the language directories.
Beware, if the plugin is updated then you lost these files.
If your translations are good you better consult with the plugin author so he can include these in the original plugin files so that they remain available after an update.
