 * Hi there,
    Have been using the plugin for years on various English language websites,
   but now that I am making a Swedish WordPress site, it would be nice to be able
   to change the language:
 * – Subscription and unsubscription confirmation (“A confirmation message is on
   its way!”) in free text format
    – Buttons and “Your email:” text translation 
   possibility (set my own text)
 * Is this a feature I can request or is it in the paid version? I prefer not to
   get too dirty in the code itself.

 * Hi [@thenorthman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenorthman/)
    I’m not 
   connected to this plugin in any way. But I know things about translating WordPress.
 * So: The translation of this plugins lives at [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/subscribe2](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/subscribe2)
   and the specific sub-project that needs to be translated is [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/subscribe2/stable/sv/default/](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/subscribe2/stable/sv/default/)
 * The Swedish translation team is built on volunteer efforts, like you and me.
   
   So welcome in and propose strings. Someone from the Swedish translation editors
   will have a look at your suggestions and approve them if they’re ok.
 * In order to facilitate feedback: It would be great if you could join the Swedish
   Slack channel (it’s a chat solution we’re using within the team, especially the
   channel `#translations`. You can invite yourself via [https://wpsv.se/wpsv-slack/](https://wpsv.se/wpsv-slack/)
 * I’d also strongly suggest that you read our style guide. That will allow you 
   to avoid a bunch of common mistakes: [https://wpsv.se/engagera-dig/stilguide-for-oversattningar/](https://wpsv.se/engagera-dig/stilguide-for-oversattningar/)
 * Now for the bad news: In order to get the translation fed into a language pack
   and distributed, at least 95% of the strings need to be translated. So it’s not
   enough to translate just 3-4 buttons.
 * (Now, If you want to translate just the buttons, then you can do that with `Loco
   Translate` or `Say What` but translating the plugin for more users is a wonderful
   way of giving back to the community.

 * As already suggested translation options exist and may well solve your problem.
 * If you want to change the button text beyond the translation capability though
   there are filters as documented in at [API documentation](https://subscribe2.wordpress.com/support/api/).
 * There are two filters, for the Subscribe and Unsubscribe button text, called ‘
   s2_subscribe_button’ and ‘s2_unsubscribe_button’. Example filter code is in the
   API documentation also.

 * Hi [@tobifjellner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobifjellner/) and [@mattyrob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattyrob/)
   
   Thanks for your suggestions and feedback. Some of this should work.
 * I would not mind joining the translation team but as Swedish is not actually 
   my native language, I may not be 100% suitable. I’m actually from Norway so I
   could try helping out with either language, at some point in the near future.
 * Thanks again, and see you later!
