## WordPress translation FAQ

### How do I translate a WordPress plugin or theme using PO/POT files?

Export your .pot language template or .po file from Loco Translate or WP-CLI, translate it in AI Glot, and place the resulting .po and .mo files in wp-content/languages/plugins/.

### Are PHP printf placeholders like %s, %d, and %1$s protected?

Yes. All printf specifiers (%s, %d, %1$s, %2$d) are locked as code tokens to prevent PHP fatal errors or string evaluation crashes.

### Does AI Glot preserve gettext plural forms (nplurals=...; plural=...;)?

Yes. The appropriate plural formula for each target language (e.g. Polish with 3 plural forms, French with 2) is automatically written to the PO header.

### Are HTML tags inside translatable strings preserved?

Yes. Tags like `<a>`, `<strong>`, and `<span>` are kept intact with identical attribute values and nesting order.

### Why is AI Glot better than Poedit Pro or Loco Translate auto-translation?

Built-in translation in Poedit or Loco Translate uses generic translation APIs that lack context. AI Glot understands WordPress terminology (dashboard, nonce, permalink, taxonomy) for professional localization.

### Can I compile the translated PO file into binary MO format?

Yes. The output is a standard gettext PO file that compiles instantly into .mo using Poedit, msgfmt, or WP-CLI (wp i18n make-mo).

### Does AI Glot support WordPress Gutenberg block translations?

Yes. Both PHP gettext PO files and Gutenberg block JSON translation dictionaries are fully supported.

### Can I test translating a WordPress PO file for free?

Yes. Upload your .po or .pot file into the free tool above to translate sample strings up to 25 000 tokens free.
