Follow the steps below to translate the plugin for your site manually

This is assuming you have already installed and activated WPCal v0.9.4.0+ plugin in your site.

In this article we have used French used in France as an example its locale code fr_FR.

Step 1) Create a .po file and enter translations

Method 1) Using Loco Translation plugin.

Download, Install and Activate Loco Translation plugin plugin in your WP site if not already present.

Navigate WP Admin › Loco Translate › Plugins › WPCal.

In the Overview tab, click on New Language.

Now choose the language you like to translate and select the location as languages/plugins/wpcal-{locale}.po (This is where you will get updates, the translation pack is available).

Now you can enter the translation and each text you want and save it.

It will show "OK: PO file saved and MO file compiled" or something similar.

Now PO file is ready.

Method 2) Manual method

Duplicate the wpcal.pot file available in the /wpcal/languages/ directory and rename it as wpcal-{locale}.po

Open the PO file, and you can see sets of

<pre><code>msgid "Some source string"</code></pre>

msgstr ""Please enter translated string within msgtr "" like

msgid "Some source string"

msgstr "Une chaîne source"Similarly do it for all string that you required and save it.

Now PO file is ready.

Step 2) Generating .json files after .po file is ready with translations

Method 1) Mail us your .po file we will create the JSON files for you

We will not use your translations without your permission.Mail your .po file to support@wpcal.io, we will generate the JSON files and send you.

Download the JSON files and upload it to your site in /wp-content/languages/plugins/ directory.

Method 2) Using WP-CLI

Run this command
