 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to translate the Poll Maker plugin but it appears that it’s impossible
   to translate the “See Results” and “Vote” strings, even if they are present if
   the .po file. The problem is the same with the default translated languages (
   Russian or Swedish for example).
 * Thank you for your answer !

 * I’m dealing with WordPress translations, but am NOT in any way related to this
   plugin. I’d like to offer a comment here.
 * Based on [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/poll-maker/stable/sv/default/?filters%5Bterm%5D=see+results&filters%5Bterm_scope%5D=scope_any&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filter=Apply+Filters&sort%5Bby%5D=original_date_added&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/poll-maker/stable/sv/default/?filters%5Bterm%5D=see+results&filters%5Bterm_scope%5D=scope_any&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filter=Apply+Filters&sort%5Bby%5D=original_date_added&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc)
   
   it seems as if at least the string “See results” is marked for translation in
   the plugin’s code (at least 4 times).
 * However: In order for the plugin to get prepared for translation by the community,
   the text-domain all over the plugin should be changed to be the same as the plugin
   slug: “poll-maker”.
 * All that ↑ is probably mostly aimed at the plugin developer.
 * Now a couple of words to [@belair](https://wordpress.org/support/users/belair/)
   
   Right now, if you want to translate those missing strings, you’d have to scan
   the code for all translatable strings. This may be done, for instance by downloading
   the plugin and scanning it with poedit. I think poedit uses the term “catalog”
   here. You might also try and export a .po from WordPress online translation platform
   and use that as a base. But keep in mind that you’ll probabaly have to correct
   the text-domain in the po-file. And keep in mind that when you’re using your 
   translation, the important file is the compiled version, named .mo
