Title: [Plugin: Subscribe2] Localization problems Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Subscribe2] Localization problems * Resolved [qwertysimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qwertysimo/) * (@qwertysimo) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-subscribe2-localization-problems/) * Hi, I have finished Slovak translation but there is a problem. Some strings remain in English on live site although they are translated in po/mo file. To be specific, these remain in English: * – plugin description – descriptions of both widgets – substituted {ACTION} in notification email * I tried reactivate the plugin but no help. Any idea what to try? Thanks. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe2/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe2/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 37 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-subscribe2-localization-problems/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-subscribe2-localization-problems/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-subscribe2-localization-problems/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Matt Robinson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattyrob/) * (@mattyrob) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-subscribe2-localization-problems/#post-3638468) * [@qwertysimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qwertysimo/), * If you have translated these strings but they remain in English it may be a browser or server caching issue, try a force page reload in your browser or a different browser. Other than that maybe wait 24 hours. * Thread Starter [qwertysimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qwertysimo/) * (@qwertysimo) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-subscribe2-localization-problems/#post-3638472) * I tried to clean browser cache (no caching on server) and other browser as well before I posted. Did not work. * When I change a string that displays correctly translated and refresh page in browser, this change shows up. I do not think this issue is related to caching. * Any other tips to try?

I’m not at a computer at the moment where I can do much more but if you can share you *.po and *.mo files with me I’ll see if I can recreate this issue later today. * To share the files open a ticket here: [http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/](http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/) * Make sure to mark the ‘component’ as ‘subscribe2’ and then attach the 2 files. * Thread Starter [qwertysimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qwertysimo/) * (@qwertysimo) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-subscribe2-localization-problems/#post-3638488) * Ticket #1688 created with both files attached.

Thanks. * Other thing, probably similiar issue. Can you check the Widgets page? Descriptions“ Subscriber Counter widget for Subscribe2” and “Sidebar Widget for Subscribe2” stay in English. * I will recheck {ACTION} behaviour in the morning. * Thread Starter [qwertysimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qwertysimo/) * (@qwertysimo) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-subscribe2-localization-problems/#post-3638556) * This is related to widget issue: When you add widget to sidebar, text “You may manage your subscription options from your” stays in English as well.
