Can I use the same textdomain in two separate plugins?

What is the way to ship read-me strings like plugin-strings for internationalization?
You can ship translations of some of the metadata used in your main plugin file’s header comment fields. Namely: Name, Description, PluginURI, Author, and AuthorURI. Just add the source strings into your PO/POT files exactly as they appear in your plugin headers. When a MO file is available containing these strings, WordPress will display the … Read more
Adding another arg to comments_popup_link

Sample code: add_filter( ‘comments_number’, ‘wpse_31328_comments_number_i18n’, 10, 2 ); function wpse_31328_comments_number_i18n( $text, $number ) { if ( 2 === $number ) { return _x( ‘2 comments’, ‘comments number’, ‘your_text_domain’ ); // or hard coded: // return ‘2 komentarja’; } … Read more
How to translate multi-line strings?

Do you have memcached or APC or xcache? Purge that. Plugins ditto. I saw that on one of my sites where my server’s object cache hung … Read more
POEdit with Custom mu-plugins code
I’m not 100% sure this is the only issue that was preventing POEdit from correctly parsing my code (I’m not sure it actually cares about the WordPress side of things), but fixing these (stupid) errors and re-running POEdit from the .pot file below seems to have generated the correct translation strings: define( ‘MY_TEXTDOMAIN’, ‘MY_TEXTDOMAIN’ ); … Read more
The effect of x() family of functions

How to prepare SimplePie_Item’s get_date() for l10n?
Best way would probably be to use the built in Internationalization function in WordPress. This will then translate according to the language pack being used. The “U” character to a date() call gives the unix timestamp, which is just what you need in this case, for passing to date_i18n(). For example: echo date_i18n(‘j F Y … Read more
