 * Hello,
 * I am confused right now.
 * The plugins strings do not appear in the Strings Translation in Polylang.
 * As a result I tried to check with the .mo file in the plugin;s directory. For
   example, I am trying to translate the yarpp plugin. I have translated the .po
   file with Poedit, and also uploaded the new .mo file in /plugins/yet-another-
   related-posts-plugin/languages/yarpp-el.mo
 * The .mo file doesnt load though.
 * I am just learning about this so I dont really know what I am doing! I would 
   appreciate some guidance.
 * Also, I tried to find the CodeStyling Localization plugin but I think it doesnt
   exist anymore.
 * Thanks,
 * Costas

 * Hello
 * > The plugins strings do not appear in the Strings Translation
 * Strings provide by your plugin are not translatabled in Strings translation.
 * Could you check “The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks”
   in Settings > Languages > Settings tab.
    Does it work?

 * Hello,
 * I have checked The “language is set from different domains”.
 * I dont want to messup the permalink structure. Is there another way to check 
   it?

 * Some themes or plugins are not compatible with this option “The language is set
   from different domains”.
    Check “The language is set from the directory name 
   in pretty permalinks” could solve your issue. If it does not solve your issue
   you can revert to the “The language is set from different domains” without trouble.
 * Could you give a link to your website?
 * EDIT: Did you rename your po/mo in a correct way?
 * In according with the [WordPress Locale](http://wpcentral.io/internationalization/)
   rename files with the WordPress Locale column.
    i.e for French admin side: admin-
   fr_FR.po and admin-fr_FR.mo For the frontend: fr_FR.po and fr_Fr.mo

 * Yes I did change it to the correct locale.
 * If it helps, I remember that in the past I clicked the “Clean strings translation
   database”.
 * I tried different ones actually! After changing them though, do I have to do 
   something to see if it works? For example, clearing the cache or hitting save
   in the settings again?

 * Polylang will never put your YARPP strings in the Strings Translation. Strings
   provide by your plugin must be handle with a plugin as [Codestyling Localization](http://www.code-styling.de/english/development/wordpress-plugin-codestyling-localization-en)(
   no more in WordPress directory), or [Loco translate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/).
 * But I see there is a problem with the po/mo names. YARPP plugin names its po/
   mo in a wrong way: yarpp-el_EL.mo yarpp-el_EL.po. WordPress will read these files
   only if your rename them as **yarpp-el.mo** and **yarpp-el.po**.
 * After rename these files, put them in wp content/languages/plugins

 * I named the files like you said. I have also put them in wp content/languages/
   plugins.
 * The translated content is not loaded still.
 * I tried emptying my broswer’s cache and the website’s cache. Also trried saving
   the polylang language settings and the permalinks settings.
 * Here is an example page on the site: [http://www.gnicolaou.com.cy/blog-gr/%CF%80%CE%B1%CF%81%CE%B1%CE%BB%CE%B1%CE%B2%CE%AE-%CF%84%CE%B5%CF%87%CE%BD%CE%BF%CE%B3%CF%81%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%AF%CF%84%CF%89%CE%BD-%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B3%CE%BF%CF%83%CF%84%CE%AC%CF%83%CE%B9%CE%BF/](http://www.gnicolaou.com.cy/blog-gr/%CF%80%CE%B1%CF%81%CE%B1%CE%BB%CE%B1%CE%B2%CE%AE-%CF%84%CE%B5%CF%87%CE%BD%CE%BF%CE%B3%CF%81%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%AF%CF%84%CF%89%CE%BD-%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B3%CE%BF%CF%83%CF%84%CE%AC%CF%83%CE%B9%CE%BF/)
