Hi Arthur,
You just need to open the POT file in something like notepad, or in a GetText editor. Then change the msgstr to the translated items. The file should then be named “locale.po” so for British English this is en_GB.po or for US english this is en_US.po.
This PO file can then be converted to a MO file using the “msgfmt” command – some GetText editors include this I believe. The MO file and PO file should then be placed in our lang folder and WordPress should load it if the locale of WordPress has a corresponding MO file inside. (The PO file is included so other translators can continue the original work or improve it.)
Once done you can email the PO (we’ll be able to make the MO but you can send that too if you wish) to support “at” backup-technology.co.uk and it will be considered for inclusion in the plugin. Unfortunately, it may not always be possible to include the translation as the company will need it independently verified before it can be packaged in the release.
Please also note that our online vault is in English only and can’t be translated at this time. So the POT file only applies to the actual plugin.
Thanks,
Jason.
