Tried on theme twenty fifteen. Seems that editor not loads all the entries. When
saving these entries are lost.

Tried the fancy “Loco Translate” plugin and got “error” on save. Tried this one,
and just worked. Nice and simple.

### 󠀁[Good only for converting PO to MO or editing existing translations](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-only-for-converting-po-to-mo-or-editing-existing-translations/)󠁿

The plugin is a little bit buggy. You cant add your own translations, or edit keys
of existing one. You can only edit translations of existing keys. However it can
convert the PO files to MO
