 * Not possible to save changes on woocommerce plugin. Loco simply keeps me hanging,
   without any error messages.
 * I suspect that there is a problem with the source string, since I see this message
   belov, in the plugin “File info” tab.
 * “PO file has different source strings to “woocommerce.pot”. Try running Sync 
   before making any changes”
 * What to do?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdifferent-source-strings%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Tnx.
    Saving keeps me hanging, even after Sync. And the message is still the 
   same, after synch.

 * Sounds like a server issue as healthy response will be immediate. I can’t debug
   your server for you, but if you can find evidence of an error in your logs, please
   post them.
 * If you’re saving WooCommerce translations be aware that their files are very 
   large. This could lead to timeouts, or memory exhaustion, or triggering of security
   rules. All things I can’t offer help with.
