Hello I have problem with my plugin Simple…

Hello.

I have problem with my plugin Simple Comment Notification (https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-comment-notification/) – plugin is properly prepared for localization but in https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/simple-comment-notification It’s say that is not 🙁

Please help!

@Beherit this is because you dont have a valid pot filePOT file POT files are the template files for PO files. They will have all the translation strings left empty. A POT file is essentially an empty PO file without the translations, with just the original strings. in Languages dir.. pot file need to be generated and committed here

  It’s strange because for my others plugins I don’t created pot files and everything is works! I don’t really know what I should do.

  Now everything works 🙂 Thanks @varunms! The last one question – when language packs are created? I translated my pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

    the wordpress will auto download then a language pack is required and if exist for your plugin 🙂
    this action happens only when you change your site language
