 * Hi,
    I’ve installed and used the plugin for quite some time now. I translated
   my theme fine. I need to translate specific words from a plugin (Ziplist recipe
   plugin) but the strings do not show up in Loco Translate. It’s just two words
   that need to be translated and I can’t do anything about it! Any idea how to 
   get this done?
 * (If you click on the website, in the recipe card, it’s the word ‘minutes’ and‘
   hour’)
 * Thank you in advance
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-translation-not-available%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * This usually means the plugin is not internationalized to WordPress standards.
 * If you’d like me to investigate, please post a download link.

 * Worse than suspected. This plugin has not been internationalized at all. None
   of the strings are translatable.
 * I notice that it hasn’t been updated for 3 years, so I wouldn’t hold out much
   hope that the author will make it translatable.
 * Sorry I don’t have better news.

 * Is there anything I could do to translate it? We’ve imported lots of data in 
   this plugin and converting to another plugin is not the best option right now…
   thank you in advance

 * There is nothing you can do to translate it with my plugin. I can’t advise on
   other plugins or other means.
