Translate the Stackable Plugin Manually

To translate the Stackable plugin, you will need some translation software or service that supports gettext.

Here’s the general process for translating the Stackable plugin to another language:

1. Open the stackable-ultimate-gutenberg-blocks.pot file provided with the plugin. You can find it in the languages folder, or you can download it directly from here.
2. Add your translations to another language
3. Export or compile your translations into a .po and .mo file
4. Rename the .po and .mo files into stackable-ultimate-gutenberg-blocks-{language name}-{country-code}
   • For example: stackable-ultimate-gutenberg-blocks-fr_FR.po and stackable-ultimate-gutenberg-blocks-fr_FR.mo for French and France
5. Place the .po and .mo files into your site’s wp-content/languages/plugins folder

Here are the steps to manually translate the Stackable plugin using Poedit:
