The value of a constant or variable can be evaluated by a PHP parser only. The tool that is used to extract the translatable strings is written in PHP, but is just a string parser. It doesn’t run your code, because that would be too slow and error prone. Here is an example for how … Read more
The list is available in $GLOBALS[‘l10n’][ $text_domain ]. To get the looong list of translatable WordPress strings just use: print ‘<pre>’ . htmlspecialchars( print_r( $GLOBALS[‘l10n’][‘default’], TRUE ) ) . ‘</pre>’; Do not use these strings in your theme or plugin.

You can always shift control towards the admin dashboard. Add a custom field in a post/page that you want styled in a special way … Read more
I was having the same problem and this is how I solved it: First, the generated JSON file has some errors. You need to update where it says messages with your text domain. There are three places where that needs to be changed. I also had to change the lang attribute to be all lowercase … Read more
What’s the plugin? Is it using custom translations in mo/po files? Is there an admin interface which allows you to set the plugin locale? There is a generic filter which you might be able to add to the plugin code to set the language which might look something like the following (obviously set the language … Read more
