Making your translation upgrade safe
Like all other plugins, WooCommerce keeps translations in wp-content/languages/plugins
.
However, if you want to include a custom translation, you can add them to wp-content/languages/woocommerce
, or you can use a snippet to load a custom translation stored elsewhere:
// Code to be placed in functions.php of your theme or a custom plugin file.
add_filter( 'load_textdomain_mofile', 'load_custom_plugin_translation_file', 10, 2 );
/*
* Replace 'textdomain' with your plugin's textdomain. e.g. 'woocommerce'.
* File to be named, for example, yourtranslationfile-en_GB.mo
* File to be placed, for example, wp-content/lanaguages/textdomain/yourtranslationfile-en_GB.mo
*/
function load_custom_plugin_translation_file( $mofile, $domain ) {
if ( 'textdomain' === $domain ) {
$mofile = WP_LANG_DIR . '/textdomain/yourtranslationfile-' . get_locale() . '.mo';
}
return $mofile;
}
