Translating the template

The plugin templates can be translated via template variables. There are these filters for the custom template variables

wp_polls_template_votebody_variables
wp_polls_template_votefooter
wp_polls_template_resultheader_variables
wp_polls_template_resultbody_variables
wp_polls_template_resultfooter_variables

Add filter to your theme and register custom variable where you will add your translation. Good practice is to name them for example with prefix STR_ in the example STR_TOTAL_VOTERS.

    /**
     * Localize wp_polls_template_resultfooter_variables.
     *
     * @param array $variables An array of template variables.
     * @return array $variables Modified template variables.
     */
    function wp_polls_template_resultfooter_variables( $variables ) {

        // Add strings.
        $variables['%STR_TOTAL_VOTERS%'] = __( 'Total voters', 'theme-textdomain' );

        return $variables;
    }

// Trigger the filter
add_filter( 'wp_polls_template_resultfooter_variables', 'wp_polls_template_resultfooter_variables' , 10, 1 );

In the admin side just call the custom variable like so and the variable has been translated in the front-end. %STR_TOTAL_VOTERS%'
