Indeed. But adding and "fr.po" file there with some msgid/msgstr > doesn't seem enough. It must be "compiled" too. `.po` files are source for `.mo` (or `.gmo`) files. Also it must be in subdirectories (standard translation organizations). So if your plug-in is called "my-plug-in", then the .mo file for French would likely be in locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/my-plug-in.mo > Are there examples available (outside of Gimp's > source code since these use the general repo). > I am planning to make tutorials for all the GIMP 3.0 API for plug-in creation, and more generally extension creation. This will include localization. We are currently also in the process of reviving https://developer.gimp.org/ (which is very outdated right now). Anyway that's a lot of work being done right now. We can't give ETA, but it will happen. :-) > And do menu locations need to be translated as well? > That's actually one of the things I still have to review and make decisions or changes about. Look at my little checkbox at the bottom of this comment: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/8124#note_1493804 The one box still unchecked says "Menu paths" which I believe is what you are asking about. Again, it's on my TODO, but I can't give an ETA. My hope is that I can make time to finish this one for the next dev release. We'll see.
