No translation available – are you serious?

    Hi,

    thanks for the awesome plugin. With more than 1000k downloads, it is clearly a winner. How much was I surprised to learn that it is not gettext-ready. I don’t talk about bundeled translation files. But why is one of the most popular (and premium, btw) plugins not gettext-ready? I don’t care about the dashboard (my customers do), but why is the only frontend text string not translatable? I don’t get it, sorry.

    Well, this is WordPress. So, we can easily find a solution. Just put something like this in your themes’s functions.php:

    function wordfence_fix( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == '<strong>ERROR</strong>: The username or password you entered is incorrect. <a href="%2$s" title="Password Lost and Found">Lost your password</a>?' ) {
		$translated_text = 'New Translation';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'wordfence_fix', 20 );

    Thanks for writing in and for your kind words.

    Internationalization is on our product road map and we have made some changes that are in preparation for that if I am not mistaken. The reason it hasn’t come to pass yet is that we were busy making major improvements in the scan speed, and adding features like the IP Blacklist and Firewall, among other things. Wordfence doesn’t ever stop improving things because we want to be the best we can be. When we are the best at security you can worry less knowing your site is secure.

    Hopefully we can get to this in the near future, though we have a few ideas that might address internationalization in the interim. I can tell you that there is a pretty big update coming soon that’s going to be sweet. ??

    Thank you very much. I’m not greedy. It would be a miniscule change to make the frontend message tranlatable. ?? I’m sure that many user would gladly provide their language files for a fully gettext-ready version.

    We certainly don’t think that! ?? Actually many features we add are based on customer feedback. It’s a question of when and how to do it. The internal ticket is FB521 if you want to inquire about it again.

    Also consider contacting Wordfence on their own site about this plugin becoming translation ready.
