 * Hi, I wanted to translate into Slovenian language using Loco translate plugin
   but there is no change. I don’t have any cache enabled, so hosting cache is also
   disabled. No translation result. I tried to create po mo files from pot and put
   them directly to plugin language folder and still nothing happened. How to efficiently
   translate the Give plugin? What to do?

 * Hi [@johnymas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnymas/) ,
 * Glad you reached out! Happy to help.
 * For Loco, can you try pressing the Sync button in Loco to see if the issue persists?
 * You can view our guide in here for that — [https://givewp.com/documentation/resources/translating-give/translating-givewp-with-loco-translate/#syncing-strings](https://givewp.com/documentation/resources/translating-give/translating-givewp-with-loco-translate/#syncing-strings).
 * Looking forward to helping you get to the bottom of this!

 * Hi [@johnymas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnymas/) ,
 * We’ve also received some reports about this, and we’ve been able to replicate
   it on a test site. We haven’t written a bug report for this one, as we’re still
   investigating it. Furthermore, we’re not exactly sure yet whether this was caused
   by an update from Loco, from WordPress or from our end.
 * We’ve been able to solve it by relocating the PO file to the “System” Location
   in Loco — [https://share.zight.com/7Kuwy7R4](https://share.zight.com/7Kuwy7R4).
 * You can check out this screen recording for further guidance — [https://www.loom.com/share/3b16d306b71343719c30a84fbad280f1?sid=3aed1e1f-9a7d-4176-8430-4dd0760c1902](https://www.loom.com/share/3b16d306b71343719c30a84fbad280f1?sid=3aed1e1f-9a7d-4176-8430-4dd0760c1902).
 * Loco has some documentation about that in here — [https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/faqs/custom-folder](https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/faqs/custom-folder).
 * Please let me know if that works out for you!
 * Meanwhile, I’m here for further questions.
 * I’m always happy to help!

 * Hi [@johnymas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnymas/) ,
 * Apologies, as I realized it late.
 * In the screenshot that you sent in your initial post, that is a user-defined 
   string. And that is why you cannot translate it using Loco. However, you should
   see the translation that you did when you create a new form.
 * I understand that it can be confusing because that part is also present in the
   strings for Loco translate. The string is available in Loco because in the development
   of the plugin, it follows the internationalization standard to be translatable,
   and its string is also a part of the POT file. Unfortunately, it is also a user-
   defined string, which kind of clashes with that idea.
 * If the user or admin has not interacted with the field, most translation plugins
   load the string from the PO files. But once the user has saved the entry, then
   the translation is picked up from the post’s meta values in the database.
 * With all that said, the best solution is to change it on the form itself. That
   label on the donation form can be edited by going to the form that you want to
   edit, then going to its block settings like so — [https://share.zight.com/z8u9L0Dy](https://share.zight.com/z8u9L0Dy).
 * You can read more about this in here — [https://givewp.com/documentation/core/give-forms/visual-form-builder/#block-settings](https://givewp.com/documentation/core/give-forms/visual-form-builder/#block-settings).
 * Please let me know if you have further questions.
 * I’m always happy to help!

 * Yes, you are right. I can translate every sentence editing form. 🙂
 * Thank you 🙂
