    Hi and thanks for your plugin. I noticed that there is missing translation in the registration process. If visitor not fill a required field there’s a popup saying “Please fill out this field” and I don’t find anywhere to change that string.

    I did also look into the translation status for Swedish which is my language and that string wasn’t there with the untranslated string.

    Is it possible to fix? If there is a way for me to contribute translations like this I can help with Swedish.

    Hi @tlagren
    I have nothing to do with this particular plugin. But I’m one of the co-ordinators of the Swedish translation team.
    Since almost three years, translations are handled via https://translate.ww.wp.xz.cn/ and if a language package was formed there, then the language file that may be included in the plugin itself will actually be disregarded.

    More information on how we work with Swedish translations can be found at https://wpsv.se/engagera-dig/stilguide-for-oversattningar/

    I had a quick look at the files in the plugin and didn’t find the source of your problem. I guess the developer will be able to say more. Sometimes this may happen when a theme or a plugin is actually depending on some other plugin.

    (For instance, in order for the Swedish support forum to be fully translated, we need to maintain not only the forum theme, but also bbpress.)

    @tobifjellner – Thanks for your quick response!

    @tlagren – I suspect the string you’re talking about is not actually part of the plugin. The plugin uses HTML5 for input fields, and in HTML5 the “required” attribute for a field creates that message in the browser. Because it’s a browser element, it’s not something you can customize in the plugin. Usually, this will be translated, but that depends on the browser and what language the user’s OS is running.

    Ahh, so stupid I was 🙂 I’m using “en_US.UTF-8” as LANG om my Linux client and only the keyboard layout is Swedish. I have now verified it’s working correctly if I change my language to Swedish.

    Thanks for quick response and a good plugin!
