Title: Localization Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Localization * Resolved [Natali_Z](https://wordpress.org/support/users/natali_z/) * (@natali_z) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localization-85/) * I translated your plugin into Russian. But the translation was not quite correct, because the Russian language has a different system singular and plural forms: * 1 minute – 1 минутА 2, 3, 4 minutes – 2, 3, 4 минутЫ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 … 20 minutes – 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 … 20 минут * 21 (31, 41, 51) minutes – 21 минута 22, 23, 24 (and othes tens) minutes – 22, 23, 24 минутЫ 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 minutes – 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 минут * Similar situation with seconds. If You fix that then – I’ll wait and correct the translation. If not, can you provide a link for downloading the files .PO and .MO. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-comment-editing/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-comment-editing/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Plugin Author [Ronald Huereca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronalfy/) * (@ronalfy) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localization-85/#post-6131879) * Thank you so much for the translation. * If you can provide a link to your .po file, I can download it and test it out. There’s some work I need to do on my end to make sure it accounts for the various forms of plural. * I’ve included this link below mostly for my reference: * [http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/33312/how-to-translate-plural-forms-for-themes-plugins-with-poedit](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/33312/how-to-translate-plural-forms-for-themes-plugins-with-poedit) * Thanks. * Thread Starter [Natali_Z](https://wordpress.org/support/users/natali_z/) * (@natali_z) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localization-85/#post-6131916) * [https://yadi.sk/d/DBQ768nYgdrgW](https://yadi.sk/d/DBQ768nYgdrgW) * Plugin Author [Ronald Huereca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronalfy/) * (@ronalfy) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localization-85/#post-6131934) * Thanks! * This one is going to be a tough one for me to figure out. If it’s just PHP, I can just use the _n function and all is well. But the time is in JavaScript. I’ll ponder this one for a bit. * Plugin Author [Ronald Huereca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronalfy/) * (@ronalfy) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localization-85/#post-6131938) * Again for my reference.

I’ll think about this also. * Plugin Author [Ronald Huereca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronalfy/) * (@ronalfy) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localization-85/#post-6131962) * Okay, I’ve thought about this for a bit, and I think I know what I need to do to make this happen. * A lot of countdown scripts with internationalization have a separate JS file that “configures” this script. Which I guess is fine, if you have a pure JS solution, which this is not. * Since there’s a mixture of PHP and JS translations that need to happen, what I can do is generate a JS look-up table for certain localizations that have languages with multiple plurality. * So for Russian, I can look at the locale, and if it’s in Russian, generate a look-up table for the seconds/minutes. For 5 minutes, there’s just 5,4,3,2,1, and seconds (59-0). So for the default time, a look-up table for about roughly 64 instances. * Where it gets weird is I have a filter that allows a person to set the number of minutes of the countdown timer. To ease all sanity, I’m going to limit this to 90 minutes. 90 minutes in itself is a bit excessive, so I think anything above that will be limited. * This will limit the look-up table to (my apologies if my math is wrong), 90 ( minute variables) and 59 (second variables). * I’ll save these as a transient every to expire every 24 hours for the explicit locale. All these variables might seem a bit much, but when minimized using JSON, won’t take up that much space. It’ll be more PHP processing, which is the reason for the transient. * When one of the locales is detected, I use the look-up table, if not, then regular minutes vs seconds is used. * I think this is the best short-term solution, and should have the least impact on backwards compatibility, and shouldn’t require the translator any significant extra effort besides using poedit to add all the pluralities (a word I discovered today). * I’ll try to have something testable this weekend on GitHub. If you’d like to help me test it, please let me know. * Thread Starter [Natali_Z](https://wordpress.org/support/users/natali_z/) * (@natali_z) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/localization-85/#post-6132097) * It’s too difficult for me.

The page still jumps, but smoothly now. In any case it is better than it was.
