Hi! The Handbook mentions uploading 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., but does not explain how to actually do this. Is this an implemented feature or should the mention be removed? A user has contributed a Russian translation for one of my plugins and it would be good to import that instead of requiring him to copy & paste each stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings..

Hi @pputzer,

If you could upload the file somewhere, I would import it.

  OK, I’ll do that. Oh, another question I forgot earlier: Is there a way to push the translations from the development branch onto the stable branch? I thought that that would happen automatically when a new version is published, but apparently it ain’t so. (Specifically I mean stringString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. for which there already is a translation in “stable”, but where that translation has been modified in “development”.)

    ^ PingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” @ocean90 🙂

    There is no automated way for this task right now. Only translations which are not in stable/dev are copied from dev/stable.

      Ah, too bad.

      Oh, I also assumed this would be the case – just because it would be both comfortable and beneficial for pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party authors as well as translators.
