Description

Hi Guys,

Elliot here from ACF (Advanced Custom Fields plugin).

I'm looking at the 'translate' page for my plugin (​https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/advanced-custom-fields) and it says "This plugin is not properly prepared for localization".

I'm guessing this is because my plugin uses a textdomain of 'acf' which is different to my plugin slug 'advanced-custom-fields'.

I don't see why I should be penalized for choosing an optimized textdomain, is it possible to allow this case?

Thanks
Elliot

No, the system is entirely built around the slug being the same as the textdomain. That's how language packs work at a very fundamental level.

You can either change your textdomain, or ship your own translations in the plugin and not use the translate.wordpress.org system.
