But&#8230; the problem is that most themes and plugins limit themselves to French (or, more precisely, fr_FR)&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SO, if I switch to French Canada for your plugin, then I have to copy the WooCommerce (and in my case also the Bricks Builder theme) from their fr_FR to fr_CA file. Not too bad when you only need to do it once&#8230; BUT it is reinitialised every time I update WooCommerce or Bricks&#8230; And I can&#8217;t just use the &#8220;old&#8221; folder I created, since some new text might have been added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I DON&#8217;T understand is that usually all I would have to do is just change your files (or copy them) with fr_FR instead of fr_CA&#8230; but it simply doesn&#8217;t work. For any strange reason, if I switch my site to French (France), every plugin is in French, except yours that stay in English. If I switch to French (Canada), then yours work, but not the others (unless I copy and update them every time)&#8230;<br \/><br \/>SO, the question is: what&#8217;s preventing your fr_CA files (OR EVEN EXPORTS from the .pot file) in fr_FR from working on the front-end and staying in English?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19005012","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19005012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19005012\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19005012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
