Important!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before updating the plugin, make sure to create a backup of your .po<\/strong> and .mo<\/strong> files. Updating the plugin might remove these files from the languages directory, and having a backup ensures you won’t lose your translations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Whenever you update the Chauffeur Taxi Booking System plugin, there is a chance that changes have been made to the source .pot<\/strong> language file. If you are using a .po<\/strong> and .mo<\/strong> files for translations in your installation, it is recommended to update these files to reflect any changes that occurred after the update.<\/p>\n

The Poedit application allows you to easily update your .po<\/strong> file with translated phrases and incorporate any changes from the source .pot<\/strong> file. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n

Step 1: Open the .po File in Poedit<\/h2>\n

Open your existing .po<\/strong> file in the Poedit application.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Update the .po File from the .pot File<\/h2>\n

In Poedit, go to the ‘Translation’<\/mark> menu and select ‘Update from POT file’<\/mark>. Locate the .pot<\/strong> file from the plugin:<\/p>\n

{YOUR_WORDPRESS_FOLDER}\/wp-content\/plugins\/chauffeur-booking-system\/languages\/chauffeur-booking-system.pot\r\n<\/pre>\n
Poedit will now compare the current .pot<\/strong> file with the translations in the .po<\/strong> file and update it, adding new strings and removing outdated ones. You may find new untranslated phrases in the list, so review the entire list and translate them as needed.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Save and Upload the Updated Files<\/h2>\n
Save the file. Poedit will generate an additional .mo<\/strong> file. The .po<\/strong> file contains your translations, while the .mo<\/strong> file is the compiled version that the plugin uses. Name both the .po<\/strong> and .mo<\/strong> files according to the locale code, such as: plugin-name-locale_code.po<\/strong> and plugin-name-locale_code.mo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
chauffeur-booking-system-en_US.po<\/strong>
\nchauffeur-booking-system-en_US.mo<\/strong><\/p>\n
Then upload both files to the following directory:<\/p>\n
{YOUR_WORDPRESS_FOLDER}\/wp-content\/plugins\/chauffeur-booking-system\/languages\/\r\n<\/pre>\n
The translation has been successfully updated and is now compatible with the new version of the plugin.<\/p>\n
