    Hi support,

    We have pages in French that we want to translate. To do this, we want to use the Loco Translate plugin. It found four languages; which one is French?

    For your information, the French language displayed by the Loco plugin indicates a translation from English to French; we want to do the reverse!

    See the two screenshots!

    Regards,

    Kad

    Hello,

    Thank you for the screenshots; they are very helpful.

    To clarify this point:

    In Loco Translate, “French (fr_FR)” is already the correct French language. The four languages you see (French, German, Italian, Spanish) are theme interface translations, not page content translations.

    Important clarification about Loco Translate:

    • Loco Translate does not translate pages or content
    • It only translates static text strings coming from the theme or plugins (buttons, labels, messages, headings like “Not Found”, “My Account”, etc.)
    • It always works from the original language of the theme (English) → into another language
    • It cannot reverse-translate existing French pages into English

    That is why you are seeing:

    “Translation from English to French”
    This is expected behavior and cannot be reversed in Loco Translate.

    Why your 404 page is in French:

    • The Woodmart theme’s French language file (fr_FR) is active
    • The text “NON TROUVÉ” and related messages come from the theme’s translation strings
    • These can be edited in Loco Translate → Woodmart → French (fr_FR) if you want to change wording

    Best Regards,
