Theme Translation:
First, you need to change language, For ex: “French”

Second, you need to create language-code.po file and translate words.
ii) Please go to wp-content / themes / designtheme / languages / – Here you can find theme pot file (In our older themes, you can see default.po file)
For ex, designtheme-slug-name.pot – Rename this pot file into po file.
Ex: designtheme-slug-name.pot into fr_FR.po (OR) default.po into fr_FR.po
Here : fr_FR is French language code
iii) Open fr_FR.po file and translate the words. Finally you will get the mo file there while saving the .po file. After translating words you can check those changes in front-end.
Core Plugin translation:
i) Go to wp-content\plugins\designthemes-core-features\languages – here you can find dttheme-core.pot / default.po / dt_themes-default.po file
