Lost in translation

Hi,

theme update has overwritten translation, I have a PO file, is there a way to upload it in order to retrieve translation?

Thanks

Hello,

You don’t need to put PO files in the theme folder but in wp-content/languages/themes instead.

Regards

Hi,

sorry if I get back to this but I don’t think I’ve got it right, every theme update I try to upload the PO file (previously downloaded from plugin translation page, see screenshot) to wp-content/languages/themes, I even tried to upload it to wp-content/themes/woodmart
but nothing happens, what do I do wrong?

Thanks and regards

Here is a video that demonstrates how to translate strings with Loco Translate plugin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAFq1yTfWfU
Be sure that you place your translation files to wp-content/languages/themes

I think it is the MO binary file missing, which I downloaded also, luckily. Do you know where should I put it? Same folder?

Put it in the same folder, it is still missing according to the plugin and translation is not retrieved yet.

Could you please provide us your admin access so we can check it?

Sure.

We have created a new translation for the theme and placed to the correct place. Try to translate it now.

I was already able to translate, the point is I cannot get back the previous translation. I’ve copied my it.po content and pasted into the woodmart-it_IT.po you have created. Now the plugin says there are translated strings and that they are synced, but still nothin happens on the website..

You need to copy both PO and MO files from your previous translation.

Done! Thank you for your time

Great, you are welcome!
