 * I have searched for the Source Text I want to change, then made my change in 
   the Translated Text. but when saving i get the following error –
 * “You have uncommitted translation changes, do you want to discard them before
   saving?”
 * Please help.

 * Did you hit the checkmark button next to each row you were editing to commit 
   the change? Probably not the best UI choice but it was the simplest way to offer
   a sort of Undo on individual entries.

 * Hi Doug,
 * I have pressed the green ‘Tick’ to OK the text change, then pressed Save Translation
   then the page loads up this error message –
 * “Request Entity Too Large
 * The requested resource
    /wp-admin/tools.php does not allow request data with 
   GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity
   limit. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use
   an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

 * Uh… oh.
 * What file were you trying to edit? The theme/plugin it belongs to? I’m starting
   to suspect the system this plugin uses can’t feasibly handle large files.

 * Hi Doug,
 * The Word is literally ‘ASC’ and ‘DESC’ for a sort by for a portfolio section 
   on my website.
 * The area is the en_US.po and is located in the Theme files.

 * I mean the file being too large; I’ve noticed with ones that have several hundred
   entries it, the system seems to hang trying to process it all.
 * I’d need to know what theme you’re using in order to find and try out the file
   you’re editing.

 * Hi Doug,
 * The theme is Kallyas
    [https://themeforest.net/item/kallyas-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/4091658](https://themeforest.net/item/kallyas-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/4091658)

 * Sorry about the delay, work has been… hectic.
 * That’s a premium theme so I won’t have access to the file myself. However when
   I looked into the original error you got, I think it’s actually unrelated to 
   the plugin itself (so far) and an issue with your server’s configuration. See
   if you can raise the `post_max_size` setting in PHP (not sure what your setup
   is so can’t direct you on how to access it), to perhaps double the amount, and
   give it another shot. That error is about the data being submitted being too 
   much, but I suspect even if you resolve this there may be a new problem of the
   system hanging trying to write the changes to the file.

 * Hi Doug,
 * My post_max_size is 64mb and i’m only changing one word, infact its just 3 letters.

 * Yes but it’s submitting the whole translation set when you save changes, not 
   just the revisions. When you make a tweak to a post it submits all the data not
   just the modified date/title.
 * Are you able to email me the actual .po file to look at? [doug@wollison.net](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-when-saving/doug@wollison.net?output_format=md)

 * Okay, I’ve tried just loading your file on my end and it’s taking forever, and
   it utterly fails trying to submit, probably because it’s taking so long to compile
   the data for submission that the browser doesn’t let it finish. Doesn’t help 
   that the data it submits is about 50% larger than the original file.
 * I only ever tested this plugin with smaller files, with a few dozen entries max.
   I’ve encountered a number of people having trouble getting it to play nice with
   larger files. I’m starting to think this plugin was a futile endeavour.
 * The plugin is basically an attempt at a built-in version of this desktop app:
   [https://poedit.net/download](https://poedit.net/download), I suggest making 
   your change with that. Once you save the changes, you can either replace the 
   one in the theme (and ditch my plugin), or use continue to use my plugin for 
   it’s replacement feature, and place your modified version under “wp-content/pomo-
   editor/themes/kallyas/languages/” on the server, assuming the file is under a
   folder named “languages” in the theme’s folder. Assuming the directory structure
   matches, it should allow your changes to persist after updates to the theme, 
   however if other stuff has been changed, you’ll need to repeat the process.
