Split: Regularly get a message from WordPress that there is an update of the languages

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is concerned about whether it is safe to update WordPress language files when using WPML and if it will affect the translations made via WPML.
Solution:
We assure you that it is safe to update the WordPress language files. When you run these updates, WordPress will automatically place the new translation files in the correct folder. Moreover, if you have made any translations related to WordPress in WPML's String Translation, WPML will create a new .mo file that includes those translations.

If this solution does not seem relevant to your issue, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket with us.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

marinoD	One more question. Regularly you get a message from WordPress that there is an update of the languages. Is it safe to run those WP updates when we are working with WPML? Does this not affect the translations via WPML

Andrey Supporter Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	If I understand correctly, we are talking about updating the translation files of WordPress itself. It is safe to run these updates, as WordPress will automatically add the new translation files to the appropriate folder. If any WordPress-related translations have been done in WPML's String Translation, WPML will generate a new .mo file that includes those translations.

marinoD	Ok, I was afraid that when I updated the wordpress translations, my translations within WPML would be overwritten.
