Localization & Translation

JetReader is fully translation-ready: PHP strings use WordPress i18n functions (__(), _e(), etc.) and the React admin/frontend/reader interfaces use @wordpress/i18n, so the plugin follows your site’s active language (including per-page languages set by Polylang/WPML) automatically. The translation template is at languages/jetreader.pot.
