UT Shortcodes Plugin translation not showing on website

    Hi,

    I have used the Loco Translate Plugin to create a Swedish translation for the UT Shortcodes Plugin that comes with the Brooklyn Theme by United Themes (For link, see below).

    Regardless if I choose to create the file in plugins/ut-shortcodes/lang or languages/plugins/, it still shows the original english language on the site (https://handlingskraft.se/#section-nyligen-bloggat). The words on this page/section that are translated but still show up in english is “Read more”, “On”, “With” and “No comments”.

    I have also downloaded the language files and checked them with Poedit to verify that they are ok, and I have tried to renamne them both to sv_SE.po/sv_SE.mo and ut-shortcodes-sv_SE.po/ut-shortcodes-sv_SE.mo. Still no swedish on the website where the plugin is used.

    I have searched the web, and from what I’ve found, it should just work. But it isn’t. If you have any suggestions I will be happy to try them out.

    Best Regards,

    Tomas

    I doubt that your theme is responsible for loading the plugin translations.

    Do you know that “ut-shortcodes” is the right text domain for the plugin? Often people name their text domains differently without declaring it. When this happens Loco can’t guess what it should be.

    I can’t find a download link for this plugin. Can you provide one?

    I used the Loco Translate Plugin to translate the theme language, and the text domain I was told to use is “unitedthemes”, wich is also entered in the css file according to developers directions.

    I see now that the plugin is only available bundled with the theme. I would be happy to send you the plugin code if you want to take a look at it.

    The only instance of “textdomain” I can find within the plugin source code is this:

    /*
 * editor panel
 */
function ut_shortcodes_init(){

    if( is_admin() ) {

    }

	load_plugin_textdomain( 'ut_shortcodes', false, dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__)).'/lang/' );

}
ut_shortcodes_init();

    Your code shows that the plugin uses “ut_shortcodes” (with underscore) not “ut-shortcodes” (with hyphen) as you’ve named your files. I think that’s your problem.

    I saw that as soon as I posted it, and tried it. Now it works like a charm. Thanks for truly great support.

    Best regards,
