The problem
Plugin text in the wrong language
A German or Spanish community shouldn’t see English buttons under every post. Editing translation files usually means FTP and a code editor.
Without Strings Manager
- English labels on a non-English site
- Editing
.pofiles by hand - Mixed languages on one page
- Changes lost when the plugin updates
With Strings Manager
- Translate text from XFtoWP settings
- Strings grouped by where they appear
- Original text shown under each field
- Translations kept through plugin updates
