Reply To: Translation

It is a kind of misunderstanding and we try our best to help you. WordPress translation is one and the same process for all themes, plugins and our Basel is not an exception.

I asked a very simple question. I said why your theme’s language file is in
wp-content/theme/basel/language folder
instead of:
wp-content/languages/themes folder

We understood your question and wanted to give you the instruction how to achieve this. The problem is that we can’t place our PO files to the folder that is outside our theme folder. Our theme, as well as all other theme on themeforest, can be installed via WordPress -> Appearance -> Themes -> Add new. And this interface can’t place any files to the folder wp-content/languages/. It upload files only to wp-content/themes/basel. And that is why our default files for translation are located there. So you just need to create your own translation files and move it to the place you want. In this case to wp-content/languages/themes

So our question is: do you want us to connect to your website and move our theme PO files to the folder you need?

Regarding POedit. You don’t need to generate a translation files from our sources. You just need to create a new translation for example it_IT.po and save it to your wp-content/languages/themes folder.

And we don’t understand why you simply don’t want to use Loco Translate plugin. As you can from our video tutorial it will take 2 minutes to create PO translation and translate your words.
