    I got the error message: “1 file was skipped because it weighs 117.5 KB (the maximum is 100 KB). Check that all strings are present before saving.”

    I realized that many translations are lost or there is no longer the string, what can I do?

    My theme comes from Underscore, so I suppose it’s not because of a wordpress update

    No files are saved to disk during the Sync operation. Only when you click “Save”, as advised by the warning notice.

    You can revert to a Loco Translate backup, if one exists. See the plugin setting: Number of backups to keep of each file.

    Regarding your skipped files, See FAQ: Why are some files skipped when extracting strings? This may not be the reason for your lost strings. If the 117KB file doesn’t include any translatable strings, then you may want to ignore the file as explained in the FAQ.

    I found a solution putting the content of that big file (that contained a lot of translatable strings) into 2 smaller files and it worked. I recovered my lost translated strings using the back up function on the plugin control panel. Just for curiosity, if I want to do this job via ftp I just have to rename a back up file into the main .po file in the same position?

    I’m glad your solution worked. Smaller files may be beneficial, but raising the limits as described in the FAQ is the simplest solution.

    I don’t entirely follow what you want to do via FTP, but Loco Translate will recognise any correctly named backup file as one of its own. PO backups are named like {domain}-{locale}-backup-{YmdHis}.po~ as shown here.
