• I am trying to modify the template POT with some wrong translations into Spanish. The problem is as soon as I open the Spanish.mo file , this is the message I receive: “Warning: PO file used as template. This will be renamed to wp_blog.pot on first save “, so I cannot make any change as not PO file is found.

    If I push in Save it says: Error:not found

    Can you help me?

    A POT should not contain Spanish.

    Please provide a download link to the theme or plugin you are having trouble with.

    The problem is as soon as I enter your Loco control panel (translations management), I can see the PO file in Spanish and interact with it, but the translation mistakes are not in this PO file but in the file called SPANISH.mo , which i can see, but I do not know how to change those translations…. whenever I open this Spanish.mo file there is a message saying : Warning: PO file used as template. This will be renamed to wp_blog.pot on first save , but when I try to save it it says “error, not found” .. so I do not know how to change this translations from the Spanish.mo file …

    The theme you mention has a price tag. I cannot investigate compatibility issues without an open source download link.

    the translation mistakes are not in this PO file but in the file called SPANISH.mo

    MO files are not edited directly. When you save your translations it will write changes to the PO file and recompile a new MO file at the same time.

    SPANISH.mo is not a properly named file. If this theme is set up in an unconventional way, Loco Translate will not be compatible with it and you’ll have to manage the translations files manually or with other software.

    Normally a file called something-es_ES.po would be edited and saved, producing a MO file called something-es_ES.mo. (where “something” is the text domain used by the theme).
