# Incorrect plugin translation

 * Good time of day
 * There is a problem with the localization of the plugin.
   Now I am finishing the
   translation of your offspring Contact Form builder – Kali Forms.The translation
   is 89% ready. About 100 lines not translated.
 * and what was the problem? Your plugin remains ~80% in the “root” language.
   That
   is, in English.
 * What’s the catch, I can’t tell
   because it’s not an encoder. But the problem is
   on the screen.If you wish, you can download the .po and .mo file yourself (after
   selecting: only matching the filter)And install the file along the path:wp-content/
   languages/plugins/kaliforms-ru_RU.po/mo
 * **When you install you will have the whole picture.**
 * I do not pretend to be the final verdict,
   but if you understand what the reason
   is and where the error is, then the plugin will have more users. Including due
   to the correct localization into other languages.You decide how and why…Regards
   Scooter

 * Besides!
   The name of the translation file must be named: **kaliforms-ru_RU** (-
   de_DE, and so on)
 * With the file name in the form: _kali-forms-ru\_RU_ (_kali-forms-de\_DE_, and
   so on), everything remains in the original language, in English.
   Something like
   this…
 * And to be honest, there are a lot of mistakes in the localization of translations.
   
   As an example, I will give the name of the plugin in the WP repository: [https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/kali-forms/](https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/kali-forms/)
 * This line is left in the “Stable Readme (latest release)” translation file unchanged.
   Since translating the name of the plugin is not recommended by WP. However, if
   you look then some of the words are translated, while the other remains untouched.
   And these translated words, which magically appeared in the name of the plugin,
   by line of code refer to the description of the plugin’s capabilities.

 * Hello [Andrei Cristea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreic86/) (@andreic86)
 * **Thank you, but all questions and ways to solve them are described above.**
 * The plugin does not have any localization for the local language. There are a
   lot of questions on translations on the forum, and not a single solution. At 
   the same time, there are only positive opinions in the rating of reviews.
   It’s
   strange, isn’t it, how is it? Because milestones with a different opinion than
   positive, **banned and removed from the rating.**
 * All questions were solved by me in the only right way, **deactivation**!
 * Good luck 😉
