Italian translation (it_IT) for FluentCart 1.6.2, free and pro: 10,141 strings, yours to use
Hi everyone,
I run an Italian site on the Fluent suite and I needed FluentCart in Italian, so I translated it. Both plugins, at version 1.6.2:
- FluentCart (free): 9,218 of 9,218 strings
- FluentCart Pro: 923 of 923 strings
Storefront, checkout, customer area, system emails, block editor, payment methods and the whole admin. Nothing left in English.
Both files pass msgfmt -c with zero errors, zero untranslated and zero fuzzy entries. Printf placeholders and smartcodes were checked one by one against the source strings, and the translation is running on a live store, not just in a text editor.
The zip attached has both .po files, free and pro, plus a README with install notes.
Three things to know before using it
The wording was written for a real shop, and three choices are editorial rather than literal:
- I removed the emoji from the system email subjects and bodies.
- I toned down the admin notification emails. "Cha-Ching! Your Shop's Raking It In!" and "Woot Woot!" are plain sentences in Italian. The meaning is there, the fanfare is not.
- Gender-neutral wording throughout, which in Italian means rephrasing rather than using asterisks or other symbols.
All three are email texts a shop owner can rewrite from the plugin settings, so they are easy to override. If you would rather have a version that stays literal on those strings, tell me and I will produce it from the same source: the translation is generated from a JSON dictionary, so variants and updates cost me very little.
One small bug in the free .pot, while I am here
fluent-cart.pot line 18556 has a stray "#| msgid_plural "Licenses"" comment on the "License" entry, which has no plural form. msgfmt -c fails on the template as shipped:
fluent-cart.pot:18556:16: syntax error
Harmless for the plugin, annoying for anyone building a translation from it.
Two questions for the team
- Would you like to ship this with the plugin? It is free to use, modify and redistribute, including inside FluentCart itself.
- For the free plugin, would you rather I put it on translate.wordpress.org, so it reaches Italian users automatically? Happy either way, I just did not want to push it there without asking.
It is offered as is, with no warranty: anyone installing it should check the result on their own store. If something reads wrong in Italian, write it here and I will fix it.
