Translating Ultimate Multisite

Ultimate Multisite is developed in English, but the plugin is fully translatable and we actively welcome translation contributions.

Core Plugin Translations

The core Ultimate Multisite plugin is translated through the official WordPress.org translation platform:

translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/ultimate-multisite/

This is the standard WordPress community translation system. When translations reach a sufficient approval threshold, they are automatically distributed to all Ultimate Multisite users through WordPress plugin updates.

We need your help! If you speak a language other than English, please consider contributing translations. Even translating a few strings helps. To get started:

1. Visit translate.wordpress.org
2. Select your language
3. Click "Contribute Translation"
4. You'll need a free WordPress.org account

If you'd like to become a translation editor for your language (able to approve translations), reach out via GitHub Discussions.

Addon Translations

Addon plugins are translated separately at:

translate.ultimatemultisite.com

The addon translations are currently AI-generated as a starting point. They cover all supported languages but may contain awkward phrasing or inaccuracies. We welcome human translators to review and suggest improvements to make them more natural and accurate.

Local Translations

If you prefer to create translations locally for your own project rather than contributing upstream, there are two options:

Using Poedit

You can use the desktop application Poedit to translate the .pot file:

1. Download Poedit from poedit.net
2. Open the .pot file from wp-content/plugins/ultimate-multisite/lang/
3. Translate the strings in the Poedit interface
4. Save -- Poedit generates .po and .mo files
5. Place the output files in the lang folder

Using Loco Translate

The Loco Translate WordPress plugin lets you translate directly from the admin panel without any desktop tools. It handles creating and compiling translation files for you.
