Hi,
I've just updated LocoTranslate and found that all my language customisations have reverted to default and you now apparently can't adjust the native language of the theme. My entire site language changes have just disappeared! It's going to take me hours to restore them all manually, although that no longer appears to be an option? If you load the theme in LocoTranslate it doesn't give you the option to change the wording, just give it "context".
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know of a way to restore former changes?
OK, so you have to manually add US English and UK English from Add Language and selecting from the dropdown list. However, this warns that changes will be lost with updates - I thought that the point of Loco Translate was to avoid that??
I'm going to try rolling back the Loco Translate update, for what it's worth.
I'd really rather reinstate all the work I've already done! 🙁
Hi,
If you do not have a backup for this matter, I think you will have to create a new translation.
Although Jobmonster supports several languages, but you should only use these default translations when you do not have any additional modifications to the language file. Because if you update directly to these languages, it will be lost when you update to the new version.
Therefore, you should create new instead of using the default.
- With Loco Translate: When you create a new language, you should choose one of these two options.
Best regards,
tb.
Thanks for your advice. I've looked on the live site and it's stored in Languages/Loco/Themes so I've downloaded the folder and added to the test site, now the customisations are back. It was lost on the test site as I moved the site onto a fresh WP installation. It has been a useful problem as I'm now aware that a fresh install of WP or a manual update to the theme would still overwrite this.
Thanks again!
