 * Hi,
 * I’m facing a curious problem with the woof filter plugin.
 * I opened a ticket on the plugin forum.
 * You can see the conversation here:
 * [https://pluginus.net/support/topic/translate-index-php/](https://pluginus.net/support/topic/translate-index-php/)
 * If you have any idea about the origin of the problem.
 * Thank you very much.

 * It looks to me like your are Syncing your PO file with the POT (template). This
   will not rescan any code, unless there is no POT file. Your information doesn’t
   make that clear.
 * To rescan for **new source strings** (which I recommend [against](https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/manual/templates))
   you would open the POT file and sync that.
 * Read about [the Sync function](https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/manual/sync)
   to understand the difference between updating translation files and extracting
   strings.
 * Further more, if you have placed code **outside** of the theme or plugin’s root
   directory then you will have to add this location as a relative source path in
   your [bundle configuration](https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/manual/bundle-config).
   Something like ../porto-child if I understand correctly.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for responding.
 * Indeed, Loco translate tells me that there is no .POT file available with this
   plugin.

 * I will do as indicated on one of your links, i.e. copy a translation already 
   available with the plugin and change the language.
