    Hello.

    I have one problem with Your plugin.
    I created a template .pot file. Unfortunately even when in file meta i have defined Language-Team to “Polski” and Language to “pl_PL”, in editor the Source is visible as EN.
    Please check screenshots below.

    What I should to do, to repair this issue?

    Here are the screenshots:

    I want to have in editor Source visibled as “PL” not “EN”.

    Thank You in advance.
    Chris

    Firstly, entering language codes into a POT file is meaningless. It’s a template from which localised files are created, and has no language of its own. Hence the behaviour you describe is correct.

    As for the wider issue of having Polish as your source language, my full answer is in the following FAQ:

    Can I translate from a language other than English?

    Hi. Thank You very much for Your answer.
    What i understand from this article is that I should all my Polish strings change to English first, and then create with Loco Translate a Polish translation. Do I understood well?

    Best regards

    Yes. It’s conventional to have English source strings. You don’t have to, but you will experience fewer problems this way.
