I need to make a Wordpress plugin that is multilanguage and I have researched that apparently the best way is using .PO and .MO files, but I already make the configurations and also do not load the translations. The plugin is originally in 'en_US' and I want to change it to 'es_ES' if I change the Wordpress language to Spanish
here my code
DiBi-Bot/languages/DiBi-Bot-es-ES.po
msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: DiBi-Bot\n" "POT-Creation-Date: 2018-08-03 15:59-0400\n" "PO-Revision-Date: 2018-08-03 15:59-0400\n" "Last-Translator: \n" "Language-Team: dibibot.com\n" "Language: es\n" "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n" "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" "X-Generator: Poedit 2.1.1\n" "X-Poedit-Basepath: ..\n" "Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);\n" "X-Poedit-KeywordsList: __;_e;_n\n" "X-Poedit-SearchPath-0: .\n" #: dibi-bot.php:56 msgid "DibiBot User" msgstr "Usuario de DibiBot" #: dibi-bot.php:57 msgid "DibiBot Operator" msgstr "Operador de DibiBot"

function dibibot_add_roles() {
$subscriber = get_role('subscriber');
add_role( 'dibibot_user', __('DibiBot User', 'DiBi-Bot'), $subscriber->capabilities );

The code is simplified, I mean, I removed parts for you to understand but basically, the lines where I use the translation in the 'dibibot_add_roles' function correspond with the lines I use in the .PO file
