How do I add a POT language file to my plugin?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.. I haven’t done it before. Do I just create a “lang” folder and upload the POT there? What else do I need to do?

First, you have to change all references to the strings you want to localize so your POT file knows where to reference them.
Then, you need to create a POT file.

Here’s a quick guide I found on Google using poEdit:

There are others of course!

If you have any Qs, reply back.

Hi @xberserker,
you have it included in bp-cubepoint-core.php
load_textdomain( ‘bp-cubepoint’, dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/languages/bp-cubepoint-‘ . get_locale() . ‘.mo’ );

so just drop translations in the plugins languages folder.
