# mu-plugins translatable?

 * Hi,
 * I couldn’t find a way to translate mu-plugins by Loco. Seems like Loco doesn’t
   take mu-plugins into consideration, at all. Though, there are some strings in
   my mu-plugins that get written out for user… And unfortunately they stay untranslated.
   I can see no option to translate them, even after setting textdomain in mu-plugin
   file.
 * Any idea how to make mu-plugins translatable by Loco?

 * Thanks.
 * I’d never heard of this directory before today. Suffice to say Loco Translate
   does not look in this directory.
 * Something to add to the list for version 2.0. But won’t be fixed in the current
   1.x branch.

 * mu-plugins are a good way how to separate functionality when developing a theme
   while making sure the user will not turn it off… I use it a lot.
 * Anyway, thanks for your answer, I will be happy to find mu-plugins support in
   Loco 2.0!
