What if all the strings are not showing?

While translating the plugin, if there are any strings that are not being translated then this might happen due to files being more than 100k might be skipped due to the default settings of “Extracting strings” to “Skip PHP files larger than 100k”.

To increase the extracting string file size, go to WordPress Admin Panel -> Loco Translate -> Settings and set the “Skip PHP files larger than” from 100k to 1024k. You can extend and set the file limit according to your requirement.
