Once you have both, follow the instructions below.<\/p>\n
1. Open the Poedit software > Create new translation<\/p>\n
2. Locate the file .pot of the theme\/plugin you wish to translate.<\/p>\n 3. Choose the language you would want it to be translated into.<\/p>\n 4. Once you have your language selected, you can now begin the translation.<\/p>\n 5. Make sure that you saved the file in the correct format. The text domain of any theme(if it’s translatable) can be found in the style.css file of that theme.<\/p>\n The text domain of any plugin(if it’s translatable) can be found in the main plugin file(usually named the same as the plugin itself):<\/p>\n Once you click save PoEdit will automatically generate .po and .mo for you.<\/p>\n Upload these two files in this location by accessing your site via FTP or your hosting’s file manager program, once connected go to wp-content\/languages\/themes (when dealing with themes) or wp-content\/languages\/plugins (when dealing with plugin translation).<\/p>\n If you do not have this languages folder in your wp-content folder then simply create it.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fluentthemes.com\/knowledgebase\/documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/translate-1.png\"){kind=spacer}

\nNote: WordPress uses a language code for every language there is. This needs to be followed otherwise the translation won’t work. For the list of language codes WordPress uses, please click this LINK<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nOnce done, click File > Save As<\/p>\n
\nThe format should be theme-text-domain-language_code. Example: hestia-pro-en_US for US English, orfeo-sv_SE for translating Orfeo to Swedish<\/p>\n
