# the Korean translation files are not converted completely…

the Korean translation files are not converted completely into the .mo filesMO files
MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced
by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded 
or imported into the GNU gettext program. This is the format used in a WordPress
install. These files are normally located inside .../wp-content/languages/. because
some menus still shown in English. When I convert the traslation .po filesPO files**
PO files** are human readable **files** which contain translations we use. These
files are **not** used by WordPress itself. Each language will have its own **PO
file**, for example, for French there would be a fr_FR.**po file**, for german there
would be a de_DE.**po**, for British English there might be en_GB.**po**. in the
original languages folder into .mo files, I can see all Korean menus. So, Please
add the language files after converting again. Thanks in advance.

        - Please post that here. Handling things by email is a nightmare and your case
          is one example of the reasons why this site exists.

           * An image was included in the email for easy understanding. Anyway I will
             explain. Some areas such as “about WordPress”, submenu on Posts, Pages
             are in English. when I open the ko_KR.po file and just save, a new moMO
             files MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object
             data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program
             code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. This
             is the format used in a WordPress install. These files are normally located
             inside .../wp-content/languages/ file is produced. After that all the 
             English turn to Korean. So opening the file and saving will fix it. And
             include the mo file in the Korean WordPress zip file.
           * thanks.
