You will get a drop-down menu to select different language simply another language. Just select the language you need and save the change. Now we will get our desired language like English to Espanol-Spanish. You will get your desired language on your website. The step will lead your texts from WordPress core to your preferred language.

When we download a theme form different theme provider we need to Unzip the compressed folder.Īfter we Unzip the folder we will get the folder where themes files will be there. Two different files for each different language. mo files are not for us I mean for human editing. When we edit the PO file to Poedit, the MO file automatically gets some adjustments. Both PO and MO file is needed while uploading to the main server.Īs we decided to change the English language to Spanish we will get the file for Spanish language es_ES.Po and es_ESmo. We need to open the es_ES.po file with Poedit software. Now add comentario in the translation box on Poedit. We are free to translate all the words using Poedit and save them. Upload PO & MO files on the site serverĪs we have added translations on language files locally.we need to upload these files to the live server to get the translation.
