Option 3: Translate RegistrationMagic using the Loco Translate plugin
With this method, you can translate any WordPress theme or plugin right on your own website using the LOCO translate plugin:
Step1: You’ll need a translation plugin to translate RegistrationMagic on your website. You can use the Loco translate plugin.
Step2: Click on the Loco translate plugin link and download the plugin file for free.
Step3: Next, go to the website ‘Dashboard’ and install the plugin.

Step9: Further, go ahead and insert the string Y in the Translation Box. Save the translation.
Step10: Now String X will be replaced by String Y.
Step 2: Approve Your Translated Strings
Translated texts are approved by local WordPress team of volunteers, and not by plugin author. You will have to request one of Translation Editors (PTE) to approve your translation. You can find the PTE assigned to the project on right side bar (scroll down a bit), as an example on this page.
If no PTE is assigned, you can request to become a Translation Editor (PTE) for our plugin here:
PTE Request (Link provided for information only, you just need above link “Making a PTE Request Template” to complete the request)
Please make sure you are requesting to become a language editor (PTE) for your language only, otherwise your request will not be approved. You can tag us @metagauss in your request just like the user did here so that local language team knows that we are aware of your request. Volunteers will approve your request on first come first basis.
Once your request is approved, you can approve your translated texts yourself. You will be also able to approve any future translation requests from other users.

- Stable (latest release) and Stable Read Me (latest release) progress is less than 79% before you started the translation work
- Stable (latest release) and Stable Read Me (latest release) progress is above 85% once your finish the translation work

Once above conditions are met we will offer you RegistrationMagic Premium for free. If you will help us in translating the RegistrationMagic Premium Version we will offer you RegistrationMagic Premium+ completely free as well!
Note that we cannot accept the translation files on the email system. You need to upload the files directly to WordPress.org so the translations are available through your account. (check above process).

Dear registrationmagic team
what about the strings present in sample_data.xml?
For istance there is a string “Register with us by filling out the fotm below” that I couldn’t find inside the language file. It is only present in a json structure in the sample_data.xml file.
So there are two problems:
1 – I can’t easily modify that file because the string is contained in a json structure and I need to mantain that structure with no errors.
2 – But also if I rightly modify that file probably it will be replaced during the next update and I’ll lose all the changes.

This is the default plugin structure. If you want to customize it according to your requirements, you can change it. Of course during the update, changes will be lost, so you need to take a backup; then update plugin and transfer your custom changes again.
