__("text in po", "my_plugin")

files *.po and *.mo in directory languages names:

my_plugin-en_US.po, my_plugin-es_ES.po...

but strings are not translated, always show everything in English and my browser is in spanish. what it's wrong?

Solution

  • You need to load your plugin’s translations files using the function load_plugin_textdomain().

    function my_plugin_load_plugin_textdomain() {
    load_plugin_textdomain( 'my-plugin', FALSE, basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages/' );
}
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'my_plugin_load_plugin_textdomain' );
