 * “This plugin is not properly prepared for localization (View detailed logs on
   Slack). If you would like to translate this plugin, please contact the author.”
 * I am a translator for sv_SE and I am wondering if you have any plans on updating
   the plugin within a near future? We have some requests on having your plugin 
   in Swedish.
 * Kind regards,
 * Chris

 * Hi Chris,
 * What are these detailed logs then?
 * The plugin is definitely translatable and has been translated in many languages:

 * The message is shown at [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wp-ultimate-recipe](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wp-ultimate-recipe)

   are further instructions regarding Slack.
 * I was hoping to get the Swedish language as a language pack, instead of users
   having to finish the mo/po-files themselves.

 * Right. I’ll look into it. But if you just want to translate it’s already possible.
   No need to edit the files directly either with a plugin like Loco Translate.

 * 1. Better quality when each locale takes responsibility for adherence to locale
   style guide and glossary
 * 2. Faster distribution: As soon as a translation is >95% ready, it will be automatically
   distributed and any corrections are distributed to the users almost immediately.
 * 3. No need for additional administration and new plugin updates when there just
   are language updates.
 * 4. Translations will be updated even if the user didn’t update the plugin.
 * 5. Unused language packs are not downloaded: The plugin footprint on each web
   server will be smaller.
 * As I see it it’s only beneficial…
