 * Hi there – nice plugin! I just started fiddling around and will start to import
   500+ recipes soon (from two old recipe plugins). But first I need to know:
 * How do I change some English expressions into German – for example “Ingredients”
   needs to be “Zutaten”, “instructions” is “Zubereitung”, “hours” is “Stunden” 
   and so on. Do you provide .po and .mo language files for translation or could
   you at least point me in the right direction: Which files do I have to edit?
 * Many greetings from Germany – Gabi
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmulti-language-possible%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hallo!
 * Danke, glad to hear you’re enjoying the plugin!
 * For translations, we provide a .pot file inside the languages directory of the
   plugin. This source file allows users to provide their own translations. On [translate.wordpress.org](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/mediavine-create/),
   users can provide translations to the community. It looks like a user has translated
   the reader-facing portion of [Create into German](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/mediavine-create/stable/de/default?filters%5Btranslated%5D=yes&filters%5Bstatus%5D=waiting)
   but the translations are marked as needing approval by an editor, which can take
   awhile.
 * If you’d like to provide your own translations, you can download a translation
   program such as [Poedit](https://poedit.net/). Open our .pot file (/wp-content/
   plugins/mediavine-create/language/mediavine-create.pot/) and you’ll be able to
   write your own translations, export them as .po/.mo files, and upload to your
   server in the same directory.
 * If you’d like to start with the [translations provided by the other user](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/mediavine-create/stable/de/default?filters%5Btranslated%5D=yes&filters%5Bstatus%5D=waiting),
   you can scroll to the bottom of the page, change the dropdown that says “all 
   current” to “only matching the filter” and then click “export.” This will download
   the .po file. Using a tool online such as [this one](https://po2mo.net/), you
   can compile the .po file to an .mo file. Rename both files to “mediavine-create-
   de.po” and “mediavine-create-de.mo,” respectively, and upload to your server 
   at /wp-content/plugins/mediavine-create/languages/.
 * Here’s [more information](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/tools/glotpress-translate-wordpress-org/)
   on how the WordPress.org translation process works.
 * Thanks again for trying out our plugin! I hope this is helpful. Please let us
   know if you have further questions.
 * Ethan

 * Thanks for your quick answer – I now use the plugin “Loco translate” and it works
   fine. The exception being some terms with times – are hours, minutes, Prep Time
   hard coded somewhere?
 * Many greetings – Gabi
