Hi blog1,

To translate the words into your own language you need to create a .po and .mo file and that file must be added inside the language folder of child theme.

can you elaborate a little bit more? I did create the po file but do I need to define somewhere in the code to use my let’s say hr_HR instead of ru_RU

Hi 8beast,

Yes sure. You need to create a .po and .mo file and it should be kept inside the language directory. To work this language goto dashboard -> settings -> general -> site language and choose your language.

Note: If you create a child theme then while updating to new version your customized code will not be lost. If you directly add in the language directory of parent theme then each and every time while updating to new version all your file will be lost. So you need to add the language file again. So the best way is to create a child theme.

Thank you!
