Loco Translate - Translate WordPress website (plugins-themes) free 2019

[@thebibleproof]

Don't be too hard on yourself Stratos. You did just fine explaning everything. You walked it through well enough to convenice me to do my next site your way instead of TranslatePress. I subscribed, even though I'm not a beginner. Does not hurt to get back to basics--that's how I found your channel.

[@stratos-tutorials]

Thanks! You are too kind

[@maria-lopes]

Amazing video. Thanks a lot 🥳

[@ninobreznik9354]

Thank you so much. I've tried, unsuccessfully, to configure the client myself - going through the process with alongside you solved my issue. Best regards.

[@yeisyrodriguez5176]

Hi Stratos!! great tutorial! it made my life so much easier. English is not my first language either lol, so a lot of translation in wordpress!!! You were amazing. Thanks

[@stratos-tutorials]

Thanks. Glad it helped tou

[@WPablo999]

Thank you very much just one question how can I make a language switcher like that in the header

[@stratos-tutorials]

You have to add a multilingual plugin like polylang

[@mouadhboukefa1546]

Great video man. thank you so much

Eufcharisto! Thank you for your excellent tutorial.

[@YourMoonGodALLAH]

This tutorial very helpful. It walked me trough step by step how to translate my English template to Spanish

[@stratos-tutorials]

Glad it helped you

[@stratos-tutorials]

This is the free plugin Loco that can translate every theme and plugin string. It is easy to use and as can see from the video you can translate almost everything. It is a must have for those who are building a non-English website.

[@bassimbg]

Thank you very much, what if you want to translate certain custom text for example a "Title" if article, I mean to change strings that are not built inside theme or plugin? Thank you

[@stratos-tutorials]

Everything that is not build inside the theme or plugin can be changed in wordpress normally. The title of the article can be changed in posts, edit the post and change the title

[@eddy.alexandru]

Hey! what should I do if I have a child theme and a parent theme. Will the translate still remain after updating the parent theme if I translate the parent one?

[@stratos-tutorials]

Depends on where did you save the po and mo files when you start using the Loco translation. I would suggest the system location

[@danielflorincondurache8767]

saved me..thank you!

[@dano9067]

Thank you for this video, there is a question, how did you add the language switch to your menu? did you install another plugin for the language switch? as this option is not with Loco plugin

[@stratos-tutorials]

As I say in the video the language switcher is form the polylang plugin. I have 2 video tutorials an how to use it.

[@bobanradovic8024]

Hey. Greetings from Serbia, thanks for the video. When I translate a certain word, and click on Save, it shows me that it has been saved, but there are no changes on the site. Do you perhaps know why?

[@stratos-tutorials]

Probably you havent find the correct word. You have to Search all the plugins or theme to find it cause it may appear 2 or more times in different locations

[@UmaMaYA]

Lovely tutorial! Thank you, Stratos! You are using the polylang plugin, but my site is using qtranslate. I need to translate Amelia Booking and WPForms - will the language switcher that I use now be able to cooperate with the loco-translated plugins?

[@stratos-tutorials]

It will propably work just fine with loco and qtranslate

[@creative_lig]

Hello, i have done everything you showed in the video and in the other locations as well. Everything went accordingly, but when i see the frontend nothing change after i refresh the page. The leave a comment in comment section form is still in english, what should i do?

[@stratos-tutorials]

Try these steps. 1. Disable all plugins and see if the comment form is still there. If the form is still there, then it is from the theme. If not a plugin is responsible for the form. 2. If the form is from a plugin, start enabling the plugins one by one, to identify the plugin that pulls the for. 3. If it from the theme then try also to save the translation to another location. 4. If it from a plugin, then check if the plugin has options to create another form.

[@creative_lig]

Ok, i get it! I needed to first of all change the theme language to the one i want in dashboard> settings and then go on! Thank you for the video, it helped big time!

[@AnnetteWernblad]

Hi, this is very useful, but all the translations of strings that I made yesterday (and saved inside "author" as you suggested) disappeared when I updated my plugins today. How can I avoid all my work being overwritten?

[@stratos-tutorials]

Hi. Select the 3 option it will be saved within wordpress/languages. It will not be updated with the plugin but you aslo have to take a backup to be sure it will not be updated with WordPress update.Keep in mind that there are some plugins or themes that will not work. If you find that it is also the case for you the best practice is to export the po file once you are done and keep it for any case.

[@saad2345]

Hi ! When I'm on the pages of Loco translate for translate my word, I have like you the "Source Text:" part and below, there isn't "Greek translation" but "Context". Do you have any idea where this comes from?

[@stratos-tutorials]

Hi Saad. To go in the page that says "Source Text" you have to select first a theme or a plugin. So if you find text in there it must be from the theme or plugin that you have selected to translate. I hope I understood correctly your question.

[@saad2345]

No. Loco translate will help you translate the layout. You have to add a multilingual plugin to have 2 or more languages. You can see this video to help you with that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqS8qYqwq8dqi6s

[@stratos-tutorials]

Propably you have not found the correct word that you are trying to translate in the loco plugin. Try disabling one by one every plugin until the word disappears. That way you will be sure that you are looking in the correct spot. But if everything else fail then you can use another plugin to replace the word you want

[@zahraaalrawy7132]

Stratos Tutorials many thanks dear for your assistance, let me also that when using POedit to open .po file there are 15 errors appear, may that be the main reason ?

Have you try all the locations? If yes then try from the start. And be careful for the updates. Take a backup so you wont loose your translation

[@Sarah-pv7ww]

@@stratos-tutorials I would like to save to the "custom" location, but trying the other locations - "author" or "system" - doesn't make the "start translating" button clickable either. Did you need to manually create the storage location beforehand?

I would recommend to disable all the plugins fist. If the string can be found on the front end, then it is from the theme. If not then start enabling the plugins one by one and check every time if you can see the string. When you can see it then the last plugin that you enabled will be the one that has the string. Backup fist.
