Loco Translate

must have


Great plugin. Very useful to be able to translate plugins without an external tool like poedit.


Great tool

I'm using it in all one language projects


We recommend this to all of our clients who ask about translations.



It can even be used to "translate" (alter) default English texts within a plugin/theme too.


Awesome Plugin

Great support!


A must-have plugin for managing the lifecycle of translations in custom plugins and themes. 



There's a steep learning curve to climb when it comes to language and translation management. This plugin helps a lot and works really well.



Also impressed with the speed of response to my help topic. Thanks Tim!
