Title: [Plugin: MailChimp Widget] Adding translation Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: MailChimp Widget] Adding translation * Resolved [no3mie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/no3mie/) * (@no3mie) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-widget-adding-translation/) * I’m trying to get the widget to show up in French and can’t figure out how. I have WordPress installed in French. * Can you include a how-to in the instructions or FAQ? Or am I just missing something really obvious here? * Thanks! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mailchimp-widget/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mailchimp-widget/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-widget-adding-translation/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-widget-adding-translation/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [jameslafferty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jameslafferty/) * (@jameslafferty) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-widget-adding-translation/#post-2286138) * Looks like I did something that broke translation (not sure which revision that happened in). Anyhow, committing another version that should fix it for you. Just upgrade when it’s available and it should just work. * Thank you for letting me know! * J. * Plugin Author [jameslafferty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jameslafferty/) * (@jameslafferty) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-widget-adding-translation/#post-2286248) * Did that upgrade fix your issue? * Cheers, * J. * Thread Starter [no3mie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/no3mie/) * (@no3mie) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-widget-adding-translation/#post-2286250) * Should the widget just automatically show up in French if I have WordPress set up in French, or do I have to place the .mo file somewhere? * Everything is still in English… * Thanks for your help! * Plugin Author [jameslafferty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jameslafferty/) * (@jameslafferty) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-widget-adding-translation/#post-2286251) * What version of the plugin are you using? * Thread Starter [no3mie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/no3mie/) * (@no3mie) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-widget-adding-translation/#post-2286252) * Nevermind — it’s in French now!

All of the plugin instructions had been translated, but when I dragged the widget into my sidebar to set it up, the success message, error message, sign up button, etc…were in English. It didn’t matter to me because those are editable (which is a great feature of the plugin, right away, thanks) and I planned to customize them anyway, but if someone wanted the pre-translated versions, I could see how it might cause a problem. * Let me know if that makes sense.

If I do, would you be interested in providing the French translations? * Cheers, * James * Thread Starter [no3mie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/no3mie/) * (@no3mie) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-widget-adding-translation/#post-2286278) * Sure — I can provide the French translations. I think I saw that stuff already translated in the .po file, but if you need another look-over or different translations, I’d be happy to provide. I do think some things sounded a tad off to me, and that may just be because of the small variations between Québécois French and French from France. So I can do the latter. Just let me know what to do — edit the po file? * Thanks, Noémie * [klipach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klipach/) * (@klipach) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-mailchimp-widget-adding-translation/#post-2286341) * Hello, I translated MailChimp Widget in to Russian.
