 * Hello, i am using the free version of the plugin. I have a problem with the translation
   of the form in the request a quote page. In particular the field title “Message”
   and the placeholder “Notes on your request…” , i noticed that there are .po files
   in the directory wp-content/plugins/yith-woocommerce-request-a-quote/languages
   that contain these texts but they do not work, if i change the translation (to
   italian in the file yith-woocommerce-request-a-quote-it_IT.po) nothing happens.
   I also have polylang pro and the strings are not present in their translation
   tables… how do i change the translation then?
 * thanks

 * Hello, thanks for your reply.
   I was hoping it could be done without installing
   another language plugin (that i have already), since the plugin have this texts
   in the .po files i find it weird that they don’t work.For reference, these are
   the lines of the php file yith-woocommerce-request-a-quote\templates\request-
   quote-form.php`<label for="rqa-message" class=""><?php esc_html_e( 'Message','
   yith-woocommerce-request-a-quote' ); ?> </label>``<textarea name="rqa_message"
   class="input-text " id="rqa-message" placeholder="<?php esc_html_e( 'Notes on
   your request...', 'yith-woocommerce-request-a-quote' ); ?>" rows="5" cols="5"
   ></textarea>`These lines are somehow translated in italian somewhere, but apparently
   don’t come from the .po files, even tho the exact same texts is present in the
   file yith-woocommerce-request-a-quote-it_IT.po

 * Hello [@kappat745](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kappat745/)
 * you could check if in the wp-content/languages/plugins folder there’s some file
   related to the plugin.
 * Please also note that the plugin now uses the new performing translation system,
   so changing the .po file inside the plugin is not enough because there’s a PHP
   file that needs to be compiled.
 * So an change to the translation should be placed inside the wp-content/languages/
   plugins folder

 * Oh you were right, the .po files to edit were indeed in the wp-content/languages/
   plugins folder.
   Thanks!
