WordPress Translation
=====================

[](#wordpress-translation)

Custom *Composer* installer for *WordPress* theme and plugin translation files.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The package is hosted on *Packagist* and receives auto-updates. In the CLI, you can install by calling:

```
composer require wcm/wp-translation-installer-plugin

```

Loading translation files in themes or plugins
----------------------------------------------

[](#loading-translation-files-in-themes-or-plugins)

The best thing you - as developer - can do, is to use the provided WP API functions *without* a path to a subfolder in your theme. This way, the fallback location at `wp-content/languages/{name}` will automatically be used by WP Core.
