I don't understand this question. You've added new strings in your theme and you want them to be translatable by end users?

Answer 1

Hi @zhao,

For themes that include multiple languages, you can simply change the theme language. If your theme doesn't have the language that you want, then you can create the translations yourself.

Find the folder languages of the theme (wp-content/themes/stendhal/languages/)

Duplicate default.po.

Rename your copy of default. po example: fr_FR. po for France, en_EN. ...

Download POEdit.

Open your file with POEdit software.

Translate your file.

In File click on Preferences and tick Automatically generate mo.

Save your file....
