I'm trying to translate a plugin, Dokan Pro, but I can't seem to find the correct .po file that my Wordpress site is using to translate. Part of it is already translated in Italian, but other parts are still in English.

Is there any other .po files from where it …

If I change the blog language to Arabic then text_direction becomes RTL. Where does it get the language direction information from?

I am adding a section to my site in Pashto, which is a custom Arabic RTL language. I can figure out how to inject "rtl" into the html tag and body tag using add_filter('language_attributes', 'custom_rtl_dir_attr'); add_filter('body_class', 'custom_rtl_body_class'); ... but because is_rtl() still returns false, things like the bootstrap rtl css don't get added automatically: if (is_rtl()) wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap-rtl', "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-rtl/3.2.0-rc2/css/bootstrap-rtl.min.css", array()); } What I am really looking for is a way to SET is_rtl() to true, for these pages, so that WP …

Hope anyone can help with getting the items to follow the setting of the …
