FullScreen Artist / 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.poHere : fr_FR is French language code
Step 3 : 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.
