Translate LinkCentral

LinkCentral is designed to work seamlessly with international websites. For example, it respects the date and time format set in WordPress (under Settings > General), and all plugin strings can be translated.

There are two ways to translate LinkCentral:

1. Community Translations

The free LinkCentral plugin is available in the WordPress.org repository and can be translated using the built-in WordPress community tools, just like any other plugin.

2. Using Loco Translate

LinkCentral includes a .pot file, which allows you to create translations manually. This is especially useful if you:

  • Want immediate translations without waiting for community approvals.
  • Are using the Premium version, which isn’t hosted on WordPress.org and thus can’t benefit from the community translations.
Loco Translate is great free tool to translate plugins like LinkCentral into any language
