 * Hi,
    When I try to save any translation, the system says “Error: Not Acceptable”
   and does not save the translation. Loco Taslate was working right before last
   WordPress update. Could you help me please?

 * Interestingly I just received this:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-saving-translation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-saving-translation)
 * I’ve never heard of this error.
    What version of WordPress have you updated to?

 * Also, do you have Apache mod_sec installed?

 * Hi,
    The isssue was solved. The support domain helped me. This is the answer 
   about what was wrong:
 * Mod_sec was blocking wp-admin/admin-ajax.php because it thought the login was
   trying to moidify it.
 * I appreciate your interest.

 * Ok great. I get this a lot, but nobody ever reported a 406 before.
    I’d love 
   to know what it is about the request to admin-ajax.php that causes the problem.
 * Possibly it’s names in the cookie.
    If your support people shed any light on 
   that, please post.

 * I also meet this problem, when I try to save my translation, the system says “
   not acceptable”. Could you give me a tread how to solve that ?
 * Thanks for your help !

 * There are [many threads devoted to the problems of mod_sec](https://wordpress.org/tags/mod_security).
 * If you’re not familiar with it, ask your hosting provider to configure it so 
   you can run WordPress plugins.

 * Hi,
 * I’ve checked with my hosting provider and it’s not an issue with mod_sec. Is 
   there anything else that could be causing this “Not acceptable” error?
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Actually it is too hard for me about mod_sec, so I use this plug to search the
   content to translate, then use Peodit to translate it, and then upload to the
   host file. It works in this way for me.
