Hi there, @bahus,
Thanks for reporting this, and sorry for the trouble!
Plugins in the ww.wp.xz.cn directory need to be at least 90% translated in order to be made available in the target language. If you’d like to improve the translations of this plugin, and WordPress itself, you’re welcome to join the Polyglot team!
You can help with translating WordPress into your language at any time and when you want to. As an open source project, all the members of the Polyglots team are volunteers.
Getting started is easy! Simply login to the translation platform and start suggesting translations. A validator will then check and approve them for you:
https://translate.ww.wp.xz.cn/
There are several translation teams for different languages. If you’d like to check them out, here’s the full list:
https://make.ww.wp.xz.cn/polyglots/teams/
As soon as they’re approved, your suggestions will benefit you and every other user who speaks your language! One small addition can impact an entire community.
As for Boost specifically I checked the main translation page here:
https://translate.ww.wp.xz.cn/projects/wp-plugins/zero-bs-crm/
And it looks like the plugin isn’t still ready to be translated by the community. I can investigate and let you know, should you’re interested in translating the plugin.

Hi there, @bahus,
Upon further checking, we realise that there are two entries for Boost in translate.wordpress.com, therefore the one I linked earlier is wrong – this is the correct link:
https://translate.ww.wp.xz.cn/projects/wp-plugins/jetpack-boost/
The Russian version seems to be translated at 98%, therefore you should be able to see it translated.
Could you try re-installing the plugin from this dedicated page to see if that solves the problem?

Look forward to your reply, thanks!

I installed the plugin from the repository. I don’t know which link it was installed from.
I downloaded the archive from your link and uploaded it over the existing one so as not to lose the settings.
Nothing changed. The admin panel is still not in my language.
I tried exporting the translation from WordPress’s native translation service to a PO file. The export creates a translation file with a strange name: wp-plugins-jetpack-boost-stable-ru.po. I renamed it to jetpack-boost-ru_RU.po, based on the plugin’s folder name, and copied it to the WordPress translations folder …/wp-content/languages/plugins/. It had no effect.
What name should the translation file have in the …/wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder so that WordPress can see the translation and apply it to the plugin?
I can create a translation file in Poedit, but I need to figure out what the PO file should be named.
P.S. The site only has the Jetpack Boost plugin installed. There is no full Jetpack plugin.
Hi @bahus ,
Thanks for the detailed info. Before we dig further into the manual approach, could you try the standard WordPress translation flow?
- Go to Settings → General
- Set Site Language to Русский
- Save Changes
- Go to Dashboard → Updates
- If you see “Update Translations” — click it
After that, check if any files starting with jetpack-boost-ru_RU appeared in your /wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder.
Let us know if any files download and if the Boost admin still in English.
This will help us figure out if the issue.
Hi there, @bahus,
Do you have updates about that, do you still need help? We usually close inactive threads after one week of no movement, but we want to make sure we’re all set before marking it as solved. Thanks!

Nothing helped. There’s still no translation. 🙁
Hi @bahus –
Thanks for letting us know.
We’ve reported this to our team and will respond back here once we have an update.

Hey @bahus,
Stef here – just a quick update to let you know that our tech team is actively working on the issue you reported. I have asked for a workaround to share with you while they find a stable fix.
We’ll keep you posted once we have news, Let me know if there’s anything else we can do to help meanwhile 🙂
Hi there, @bahus,
I have some updates to share. Our team started working on the task as they found the root cause, They’re currently preparing a fix but we yet don’t have an ETA for the fix to be deployed.
Unfortunately, we also don’t have a workaround for you to use while we work on a fix: with the strings not being correctly extracted in the PO file, you won’t be able to self-translate using something like Loco Translate 🙁
For now, a couple of things that may be useful going forward:
- Keep Jetpack Boost up to date: fixes and improvements are rolled out regularly, and staying on the latest version means you’ll get them as soon as they’re available.
- Keep an eye on the changelogs: when updates are released, any fixes are listed there. You can find all Jetpack Boost plugin changelogs.
We know this isn’t the clear-cut answer you were hoping for, and we really appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions, or if anything changes on your end, we’re here and happy to help. Thanks!

No problem. I’ll wait for the correction.
Hey @bahus,
Thanks a lot for understanding! Let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help.
Hey @bahus,
Good news: the fix has been merged and a new version of Boost with full translation support is expected to be released by the end of next week. Please update the plugin once it’s out and you should be all set.
Thanks again for your patience on this!
I’m going to close this thread now. However, if something else comes up, feel free to start a new support thread here.
