  Hi all.
  I want to know how to manage the translation of the “title of the metabox” ( and other text in the framework) that is defined in the comments.
  <?php /* Title: My Demo Meta Box Post Type: post */
  
  Thanks from Spain.
  
  Miguel.

  @gnomonet– Piklist automatically uses get_text to display text. You should be able to create a PO file with your translations.
  
  Let us know if you have any problems. This area of Piklist may require a little help.

  @Steve- I had the same question some times ago and I’m not sure that your suggestion is doable : from what I see, piklist loads the string from text-domain “piklist” and not from the text-domain of the plugin:
  add_meta_box( ... __($data['name'], 'piklist') ...)
  
  If I add a string in my PO with domain “piklist”, it seems that wordpress ignores it:
  #@ piklist msgid "test" msgstr "translation of test"
  
  I guess that wp don’t like PO files with multiple text-domains (plugins like “CodeStyling Localization” warn about that)…
  
  Any clue?
  
  Cheers,
  Daniel

  @Miguel Can you translate those strings using the WPML String Translation module?

  please, install a plugin like “piglatin” and you will see if all the strings are translatable.

  @Miguel– Using Pig Latin and it’s very helpful! We’ll be moving forward with better localization.

  I’m satisfied with this workaround:
```
<?php

// File: parts/meta-boxes/my-metabox.php

/**
 * Title: {{ My Metabox }}
 * Post Type: my_cpt
 */
	
piklist( 'field', [
	'type' => 'file',
	'field' => '_thumbnail_id',
	'scope' => 'post_meta',
	'options' => [
		'title' => __( 'Set featured image(s)', 'my_textdomain' ),
		'button' => __( 'Set featured image(s)', 'my_textdomain' ),
	],
] );

/**
 * Localize Title
 */
add_action('piklist_pre_render_meta_box', function() {
	ob_start();
} );
add_action('piklist_post_render_meta_box', function() {
	echo str_replace( '{{ My Metabox }}', __( 'My Metabox', 'my_textdomain' ), ob_get_clean() );
} );
```

  Piklist v1.0.5 now does this automatically. Just add your translations to your .po file and Piklist will translate everything including the comment block titles.
