    Hi there,

    How can I use translations without any other plugin like Loco Translate?

    Hi @sarahtopfstaedt,

    A translation plugin is usually the easiest way. If your language is covered by a community translation, translation files are distributed once a language has 90% coverage. Wordfence provides a .pot file that lives in wp-content/plugins/wordfence/languages , and our community translation page is here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wordfence/

    WordPress also added a method of translation using .php files in wp-content/languages/plugins/, so again if your language is already covered (or becomes covered) by community translations in the future, that may be better for you.

    It may also be possible to use Poedit to generate a .mo file using the .pot file bundled with the plugin. Any strings from this file will be used instead of the defaults from the plugin, strings that are omitted will be sourced from the plugin itself. WordPress might overwrite those translation files when the plugin is updated though.

    Many thanks,
    Peter.

    No worries, happy to help. If you have Wordfence questions in the future by all means start up a new topic any time!

    Peter.
