Preparing WordPress Plugins for Translation: Internationalisation & Localisation

About the Workshop:

In an increasingly interconnected world, ensuring your WordPress plugins are accessible to a global audience is no longer optional—it’s essential. This workshop is designed to guide developers, designers, and digital businesses through the crucial steps of Internationalisation (i18n) and Localisation (l10n) for WordPress plugins.

Key Topics Include: • Understanding Internationalisation (i18n): Learn how to prepare your plugin’s codebase for translation, ensuring it can easily adapt to different languages and regional formats. Hareesh will cover best practices for coding with international users in mind, including the use of translation functions, managing text domains, and handling right-to-left (RTL) languages.

• Mastering Localisation (l10n): Discover how to effectively translate and adapt your plugin to meet the cultural and linguistic needs of specific regions. Hareesh will explore tools and strategies for managing translations, including PO files, MO files, and using translation plugins and services.

• Practical Tips and Common Pitfalls: Get hands-on advice on avoiding common mistakes in the internationalisation and localisation process, and learn how to optimise your plugins for a seamless global user experience.

• Case Studies and Real-World Applications: Hareesh will share examples from his own experience, illustrating how successful internationalisation and localisation have driven user engagement and growth for global audiences.
