So we will need the both while uploading to the main server. When you edit the PO file with Poedit, the MO file automatically gets some adjustments. mo file is not for human editing- it’s more of machine (system) side stuff. Navigate to theme-pack > eventum > languages. Now you will get a folder called something like “themeum_wp_eventum_themeforest_bundle”. Unzip the compressed folder after downloading it. For an example, if you’ve downloaded the Eventum theme provided by Themeum, you will get a zipped file. There is a folder called “Languages” inside the theme folder you’ve downloaded. You need to edit the theme language (.po) file for a specific language. In this experiment, I’ll show you how to translate the English word “Comment” to Spanish which is shown inside the comment box on a single post page. So download and install Poedit on your computer to start the process. Once you install your preferred language in your WordPress setup, the next thing you need is to translate your theme. You can also install WordPress in a specific language (if available) while setting up the site first time. This action will just show your preferred language for only the texts which are directly from WordPress core. This will install and activate your desired language (say Espanol- Spanish) on your site. Select your preferred language and save changes. You will get a drop-down menu to select another language. If your site already up and running (in English language), visit the WP Dashboard > Settings > General. Firstly, you need to install that specific language in your WordPress site. Launching a WP website in any specific language involves three major steps- Getting the language in the CMS, translating theme specific texts and finally adding contents in that language. Step 1: Set WordPress Language and Install Poedit So you should translate these texts to the Spanish language for a fully localized site. These strings are given inside the theme itself. For example, each blog post followed by a bunch of texts “previous article” and “next article”, “ Comment” etc. So if you want to launch a website with Spanish contents, say, you need to translate the theme texts into Spanish language for a better user experience.Ī theme comes with many texts, system feedback, prompts etc. The default language of our themes is English. The WordPress themes developed by Themeum are translation ready, that means you can build a site in any language with our themes.
