Multisite Plugin Translation Overwriting

    I’ve been successfully using the Loco Translate plugin on my multisite and it works perfectly. Recently, I cloned one of my sites, renamed it, and applied a new child theme for the same parent theme as the site I cloned. I was able to make translation changes to the new child theme but when I try to make changes to a plugin that is being used on both sites the translations are being applied to both sites instead of just to the site I’m making changes on. How can I make sure that changes to the plugin language files are only applied on the site where I’m making the changes?

    I hope that isn’t too confusing.

    TIA!

    To my knowledge WordPress only has one wp-content/languages folder for all sites in a multisite install. Hence your translation files are shared between sites.

    You can probably solve your problem with some code that targets different language files/folders based on the current site.
    Or perhaps bundle custom translations into a plugin and only enable it on the sites that need to use it.

    However, I can’t offer help writing code. I can only answer questions about using my plugin.
