Translations

The plugin is fully translatable and includes built-in translations for Swedish (sv_SE) and Norwegian Bokmål (nb_NO).

How to translate the plugin

Option 1: Contribute to translate.wordpress.org (recommended)
– Visit translate.wordpress.org
– Select your language and add translations via the browser interface
– Your translations will automatically be included in future releases

Option 2: Local translation files
If you need to add or modify translations locally:

1. Generate or update the POT file (translation template):
   wp i18n make-pot . languages/spelhubben-weather.pot --slug=spelhubben-weather

2. Create a PO file for your language (e.g., spelhubben-weather-de_DE.po):

   • Copy the .pot file and rename to match your locale (e.g., de_DE)
   • Use a translation tool like Poedit or a text editor
   • Translate all strings in the PO file
   • Save the file as spelhubben-weather-de_DE.po

3. Generate the MO file (compiled binary format):
   msgfmt spelhubben-weather-de_DE.po -o spelhubben-weather-de_DE.mo

4. Place files in the plugin:

   • Store both .po and .mo files in /languages/
   • Also generate a .l10n.php file (WordPress 6.0+):
     wp i18n make-json languages/spelhubben-weather-de_DE.po --no-purge

5. Activate your translation:

   • Change your WordPress language to match the locale code (Settings → General → Site Language)
   • The plugin will automatically load the translated strings

Translation file structure:
languages/
spelhubben-weather.pot (template for all translations)
spelhubben-weather-sv_SE.po (Swedish source text)
spelhubben-weather-sv_SE.mo (Swedish compiled)
spelhubben-weather-sv_SE.l10n.php
spelhubben-weather-nb_NO.po (Norwegian source text)
spelhubben-weather-nb_NO.mo (Norwegian compiled)
spelhubben-weather-nb_NO.l10n.php

What gets translated:
– All frontend strings (shortcode output, widget labels, weather descriptions, WMO codes)
– Admin settings and UI labels
– JavaScript strings (expand/collapse, status messages)
– Error messages and notices

Best practices:
– Use context clues in the POT file (msgctxt) to distinguish similar phrases
– Test your translation in WordPress to ensure formatting and plurals work correctly
– Check that translated UI aligns properly in your language (RTL vs LTR)
