Force Update Translations

Apply WordPress.org theme and plugin translations to a site even if translations are not yet approved or language packs have not been released.

Note about Translation Playground: The Translation Playground is now available for quick translation testing. However, if you need to test translations on your actual site, this plugin may remain the practical solution.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ Currently this plugin downloads only strings from Development project instead of Stable for plugins. Please wait for an update or see the issue on GitHub.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ Currently this plugin is not able to generate the JSON files that is needed for JavaScript to consume some translations. Please wait for update or see the issue on GitHub.
