Default Translation

The theme is already translated into the US English language out of the box, making it easier to translate into more languages.

For example, you can complete the steps below to translate the theme into the German language.

  1. Browse to the theme’s folder on your computer.
  2. Go into the ‘languages’ folder.
  3. Copy the ‘en_US.mo’ file, and save the new copy as ‘de_DE.mo’.
  4. Copy the ‘en_US.po’ file, and save the new copy as ‘de_DE.po’.
  5. Do not open ‘de_DE.mo’, it is for system use only.
  6. Open ‘de_DE.po’ in a plain text editor and translate all the words at the front of the tag ”.

Your languages folder should have the files shown in the screenshot below, if you completed the above steps correctly, and you started with only the US English translation.
