Hi! I have noticed, that your plugins used 80% standart WordPress gettext strings, but you are having your own text domain for plugin. It's better to use labels without textdomain option, for example __( 'Enter title here' ); will be automaticly translated in all supported WP langs by core. In that way you can make your plugins automaticly 80% tottaly internationalized. Think about that.

Also I have added Russian translation of main plugin. Check it https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/ru/default/wp-plugins/meta-box

Hi Jackky,

Thank you very much for your contribution! Yes, I'm aware of the same text in WP core, but the WP.org guideline forces plugin authors like us to use our custom text domain. I will talk with them to see if we can utilize the core translation.

For example for my multilingual project (5 langs for now) I'm using WP core textdomain where I can do so. It seems to be very good for my purposes.

While it's a good idea and technically works, but when WordPress changes its text, all the translation are lost in our plugin. We need to update the plugin to catch up the changes in WordPress, which is a huge work.
