Listify is translation ready and comes with translatable .po / .mo files.
GlotPress helps you collaborate online with your WordPress translators. Within this doc, we will cover the steps required to have the Listify theme translated using GlotPress.
Step 1. Access the Listify GlotPress project
We have our project hosted here
Step 2: Login or create an account
From the link, you can click on the login link on the far right to login or create an account if you don’t have one yet.
Within the languages list, you will notice a couple of terms:
%: This indicates the percentage of Strings translated within a specific locale
Translated: These are the already translated Strings
Fuzzy: These are Strings translated differently by various translators
Untranslated: These are Strings that yet to be translated
Waiting: This indicates the Strings that are already translated but yet to be approved
Step 3: Click on the language you would wish to translate
Step 4: Select any untranslated String and have it translated
To translate a String you will need to double click on the “Translation” section of the String.
Add the translation and save it
Once this is done, the project validator will then need to validate the Strings.
With the translation validated and approved, it will then be available within the theme.
Exporting the Translation files.
In order to use the translations immediately, you will need to export the translation file in the .po & .mo format and upload it to the languages folder (wp-content/languages/themes/) using FTP / SFTP following correct naming convention in order to ensure that WordPress understands what language you are referring to.
Be sure to prefix the text domain (listify) before the language code. Capitalization is also of importance here.
For the language codes, please refer this list.
A sample output for the language we used within this doc would be: listify-pt-br.po and listify-pt-br.mo
The files will therefore have the directory path:
wp-content/languages/themes/listify-pt-br.po
wp-content/languages/themes/listify-pt-br.mo
This article doesn’t explain how to upload a .po file in glotpress after a massive language translation and editing.
Hi Francesco,
About your query here, only validators have access to the Import feature. This is a default setup in GlotPress. If all users were allowed to import translations before validation, then we would end up with corrupt translation files. This is why there has to be a validation first before any importation of the po files.
Hope this clears things up.
Kind Regards
