Comment (by Otto42):

 For reference, that plugin is not properly prepared for translation
 because:

 a) It's using the wrong text domain.

 https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/cart-recovery/tags/1.7/cart-recovery-
 for-wordpress.php

 This file has "Text Domain: crfw" in it, when the actual text-domain for
 this plugin is "cart-recovery".

 Similarly, the function calls are using the wrong text-domains:

 https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/cart-
 recovery/tags/1.7/classes/CartTemplate.php

 `return _x( 'friend', 'Used as a first name if none is available.', 'crfw'
 );`

 The 'crfw' should be 'cart-recovery'.


 b) Lots of the translation functions calls in the plugin are simply wholly
 missing the text-domains as well:

 https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/cart-recovery/tags/1.7/templates/admin-
 status-page.php

 `<?php _e( 'Pending' ); ?>`

 That should be:

 `<?php _e( 'Pending', 'cart-recovery' ); ?>`


 However, back to the original point: that line that you're referring to on
 translate.w.org points to this URL:
 https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/internationalization/how-to-
 internationalize-your-plugin/

 ..which gives all this information about text-domains, how to use the
 escaping functions properly, etc.
