Text domain

    Currently translating CANVAS theme from woothemes.
    It doesn’t work, but I guess that It’s just becaus locs has attributed the wrong Text domain (canvas instead of woothemes). how can I change the Text domain in .mo or .po files.

    Thanks for your kind help.

    MO files don’t contain text domains, they just get “found” by their name and location.

    If the text domain is “woothemes” just put your MO files at
    wp-content/languages/plugins/woothemes-xx.mo
    (where xx is the language code)

    Be aware that this doesn’t fix the problem of Loco Translate identifying the text domain. Renaming the files is only a hack to get WordPress to “see” them when your theme loads.

    thanks for the tip, it works fine for me, I just replaced the text domain, change the location file to wp-content/languages/theme/woothemes-xx.mo and got my translation updated.

    Great support Timwhitlock!
