Translation

Welcome to the guide on Translation in the MailChimp for WooCommerce Integration. This guide will help you understand how to translate the plugin using i18n (Internationalization and localization) and the POT files (Portable Object files).

Overview

Functionality

The MailChimp for WooCommerce plugin supports i18n. This allows you to translate every single string of text found in the plugin using the POT file.

Translation via POT File

Steps

1. Download a translation editor compatible with POT files, such as Poedit.
2. Navigate to the WooCommerce for MailChimp plugin languages directory.
3. Download mailchimp-woocommerce.pot.
4. Create a new translation in Poedit with mailchimp-woocommerce.pot.
5. Choose a language for the translation. You can now translate any of the source text.
6. Save the file as mailchimp-woocommerce-(the translation ending). For example, for Canada French, it would be mailchimp-woocommerce-fr_CA.
7. Upload both the .po and .mo files to the languages directory of the plugin.
8. Change the site language in WordPress to the desired language.
