Splitted localizations

    Hello Tim.

    I love your Loco Translate. It’s really professional work!

    But I found one little problem: the plugin provide me access only to one localization file for each plugin or theme. You know, there are some plugins which have one localization file for frontend and one for backend, for instance: WooCommerce (very popular e-commerce plugin).

    Please look at the issue and give your feedback.

    Thank you for your attention.

    Hello. This is a known restriction of the plugin.

    Supporting multiple domains is on the todo list, but there is no timeline for this. It’s a fairly major enhancement so will probably form part of version 2. This is not imminent.

    The reason Loco Translate was only built to support one text domain is that WordPress only provides a way to formally declare a single domain per plugin. (Automatically detecting domains is extremely unreliable).

    Multiple domains can be managed as separate (dummy) plugins, but authors are not obliged to do this and so generally they don’t. If you wanted to manage multiple domains in Woo Commerce yourself, you could create your own dummy plugins and copy over the correct POT file if the author provides one. I may publish a guide to doing this at some point.

    It would be great if you could publish the guide.
