Gettext Strings are strings outputted by themes and plugins.
Translating these types of strings through TranslatePress can be unnecessary if they are already translated using the .po/.mo translation file system.
Enabling this option can improve the page load performance of your site in certain cases. The disadvantage is that you can no longer edit gettext translations using TranslatePress, nor benefit from automatic translation on these strings.

Adds an additional tab on the String Translation interface that allows editing translations of user-inputted strings.

Does not work when making changes to a text that is part of a translation block unless the new text is manually merged again in a translation block.
Each string needs to have a minimum of 50 characters.

Custom language

To edit an existing TranslatePress language, input the language code and fill in only the columns you want to overwrite (e.g. Language name, Flag).
You can also add new custom languages. They will be available under General settings, All Languages list, where the URL slug can be edited.
For custom flag, first upload the image in media library then paste the URL.
Changing or deleting a custom language will impact translations and site URL's.
The Language code and the Automatic Translation Code should contain only alphabetical values, numerical values, "-" and "_".
The Automatic Translation codes can be found on Google ISO Codes and DeepL Target Codes.
