Hi @1scooter,
Thank you so much for doing this! 🙂
I would like to start with the fact that I don’t know how the translation process works exactly. I just made sure that on my side, everything is done well (and I am adding new strings to be translated almost everyday; in advance, sorry about that).
You know this already, but for anyone joining this discussion, I would like to share the link to the translations here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/ai-engine/
The Orange Rows
This means that they are not validated yet (https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/translating/glotpress-translate-wordpress-org/#strings-status-color-key). Only a Translation Editor can do it, and I think those editors are numerous and come over from time to time to validate the translations.
Translation Editor
If it takes time to validate your translation, the only way is to contact one of them. They keep the translation teams here: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. But you could also ask to become a Translation Editor. In your case, I checked this: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/ai-engine/stable/ru/default/?page=5. Apparently, an editor approved your translation only two hours after it was added, so that’s really good 🙂
Interesting Note
If strings in stable are approved for at least 90% for a plugin/theme in a certain locale, the generation happens 30 minutes after a translation has been updated. Then any local WordPress set to use that specific locale will download it in the next hours after the generation.
I hope it helps, and let’s discuss further. Would love to see my plugin in different languages! 🥰 And again, thank you!
Thanks for the answer.
All of the above step by step instructions, I know.
I have been following your plugin since version 0.2. In fact, since the appearance of the plugin.
You update often, sometimes twice a day)))
But I just wanted to emphasize one point:
- any string updated with translation,
does not appear in the plugin interface when installing on a clean system or updating.
- this applies to at least two languages. But I think that with any language other than English, such a story.
- with any localization of the translation file, the plugin interface remains in the original language (English)
I hope this describes my question more accurately.
Thank you
Hi @1scooter,
Would be hard to test right now; currently, the state of the translation in Russian is only 24% (seems like many translations haven’t been validated).
Under 80%, the translation files generated by WordPress/PolyGlot wouldn’t be generated and downloaded by the sites set to Russian.
When we get to 90% or so, I could set one of my test sites in Russian, try it, and make sure it works; but before that, I don’t think we can.
Basically, the first step is really to get the translations validated, then we can play with it 🙂
Good afternoon Jordy Meow (@tigroumeow)
Thanks for responding.
At the moment, the translation into Russian is complete.
And approved by the editors and “custodians” of the sequence.
The second step has been completed.
If it’s not difficult for you and there will be Time, check it on your test site.
Sincerely.
Thank you.
I have been trying for the past two hours, since you let the message, I was really excited to try it… impossible! And I have no idea why.
I set a website in Russian, the translations files got downloaded by WordPress, I can see them. However, they get applied to the JS content, only the PHP content. I have no idea why, I checked and double-checked everything, but it looks like the JS translations are simply not loading at all.
If you know someone who could help, I am interested. I would be even willing to pay to make this work. Somehow WordPress didn’t make it straightforward and easy to debug 🙁
Two hours later, I am still on it 🙁 But I will abandon for now, until I find someone willing to help. I found some information but it’s never really clear. I could make it work by copying the file directly into some directory of mine and renaming them.
For your information, I would like to share what I wrote on another forum:
I am also going crazy with this 🙁 I am trying to have the JS translations being loaded for my plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-engine/).
A translator translated everything in Russian. To try it, I set my environment to Russian, and the JSON files related to my plugin got indeed loaded. I realized they have a md5 hash at the end which is how I found this article.
I am using this:
wp_set_script_translations( ‘mwai’, ‘ai-engine’, $languagesDir );
Doesn’t work. As a test, I moved the file (originally called ai-engine-ru_RU-0bdc92e05d8f3ab638aa855679db059e.json by WP) under my own /languages directory (represented by $languagesDir above). I renamed it into “ai-engine-ru_RU-mwai.json”, to make sure the handle is the same. That worked.
Of course, that’s not what I want; I would like it to work dynamically, with the files created/loaded by WordPress, but I have no clues how. I am pretty sure their MD5 creates the issue, as it doesn’t seem related to either my handle or my domain.
Anyone can help? Thanks a lot!
Unfortunately, I don’t know how to code.
Therefore, I will be of no use to you.
It is unfortunate that the situation has reached an impasse.
I don’t know for sure, but I guess: with other languages (translations) the same problem.

I spent a few more hours… and I finally found a solution! I will publish a new version in 8h or so, and it should work out of the box. Let me know 🙂
Good afternoon
Yes, the latest update worked. At the moment, the translation is correct and works.
There are items that were not translated, but here you already need to look at the translation file.
Now we can confidently say that the plugin has been translated into 4 languages.
After updating and fixing the jamb, all translations are correct!!!
Great. Thank you

I will update my other plugins with the same system 🙂
Yes, not all the strings are translatable, I will do this little by little.
Hello
If needed, I can start translating it into Hungarian. If I receive the pro version, I will do that as well.
Now I see how it should be translated.
The Hungarian translation has been completed.
