 * Other strings are updating correctly but not this one.
    Is it because it’s over
   multiple lines in the pot file? Or because of the parameter?
 * #: includes/dashboard.php:38
    #, php-format msgid “” “You have unpaid earnings
   available to be paid out: [Request ” “a payout.” msgstr “”
 * My current settings: [https://snag.gy/1FbzHJ.jpg](https://snag.gy/1FbzHJ.jpg)
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks, Nick

 * Hi;
 * I can’t offer support for finding original strings or the settings you need to
   enter to translate a specific piece of text in a plugin or theme you’re using.
 * However I can confirm that the plugin does support multi-line strings, and strings
   with parameters such as %s.
 * You’ll need to find the original string in the plugin or theme code. You can 
   check the FAQ ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/faq/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/faq/))
   or this article ([http://plugins.leewillis.co.uk/doc_post/replacing-wordpress-strings-context/](http://plugins.leewillis.co.uk/doc_post/replacing-wordpress-strings-context/))
   for some examples of what you’re looking for.
 * Alternatively, the Pro version of the plugin provides a String Discovery mode
   which means you can search for strings on your site via autocomplete suggestions–
