  • Hi there from the Swedish translation team.
    WordPress translations are driven by volunteer contributions (just like WordPress itself).
    If the “Stable plugin” project reaches at least 95% translated and approved strings, then a language pack will be generated and distributed via the “update” admin page. You’re very welcome to participate. There’s lot of useful information on how the Swedish translation team works and communicates, and also important language/translation stuff to keep in mind at https://wpsv.se/engagera-dig/stilguide-for-oversattningar/

    However, if you just want a few strings on your site to be in Swedish, then you can look at:
    – “Loco translate” plugin
    – “Say What” plugin
    – Poedit (separate software)
    … or you could make sure that the strings you need are translated and then either use plugin “Force Update Translations” or export the plugin translation in .mo format, change the file name to wp-job-manager-sv_SE.mo and upload it to /wp-content/languages/plugins/

    Hi,
    I have uploaded the wp-job-manager-sv_SE.mo to /wp-content/languages/plugins/, but some of the texts like “Description,twitter account” have changed but, some texts like “Listing Name”,”Listing category” are still the same. Please assist me as soon as possible.

    Youb have to edit the .po file to your needs

    []some texts like “Listing Name”,”Listing category” are still the same.

    When I look at https://translate.www.ads-software.com/projects/wp-plugins/wp-job-manager/stable/sv/default/ I notice a couple of things:
    – The Swedish translation is only translated to some 65%, so some strings may simply not yet be translated.
    – In the translation project I don’t see any string that specifically contains the substrings “Listing Name” or “Listing category”. It’s possible that some strings in the plugin haven’t been correctly prepared for translation.

    Youb have to edit the .po file to your needs

    The .po file is a convenient format for editing, even with a text editor. However, when WordPress is creating a page, it uses the compiled version of this file. That’s the .mo.

    @safnayardd can you show me exactly where you see those strings?

    @tobifjellner thanks much for your input. ??
