Translated .po and .mo files in WordPress directories

    Which directory do admins should place the translated .po and .mo files in WordPress?

    For brazilian portuguese, I saved in /wp-content/languages/plugins/ with names:
    contact-form-7-pt_BR.mo
    contact-form-7-pt_BR.po

    The real reason that I’m asking these questions, it’s that the theme is not translating the date’s placeholder and calendar of a date field in the form even if the WP is setup for “Português do Brasil” (pt_BR) under “wp-admin -> Settings -> General -> Language”. The user profile is setup for default language and even if I save it with pt_BR, the field date is not being translated.

    The mentioned directories and name files are correct.

    The issue was due to language of the browsers, that were setup for english instead portuguese.

    Since I changed to portuguese, the date field started to work as expected in portuguese, both placeholder and calendar.

    So, the form “sees” the user’s browser language to render it.
