7. Use an FTP client or a File Manager plugin to locate the translation files (e.g., languages/plugins/razzi-en_US.po).

8. Rename the translation files as follows:

   • razzi-en_US.l10n.php to razzi-addons-en_US.l10n.php
   • razzi-en_US.mo to razzi-addons-en_US.mo
   • razzi-en_US.po to razzi-addons-en_US.po

Please note that these steps are specific to the Razzi theme and its Addons plugin. The process might differ for other themes.
