- Create a "languages" folder in your wp-content.
- Copy the .mo and .po files for your language from http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/ or from another location.
- Copy them to your "languages" folder in wp-content.
- In the "wp-config.php" file of your wordpress, change the following line:
define ('WPLANG', '');
to
define ('WPLANG', 'language_LANGUAGE');
For example: define ('WPLANG', 'fr_FR'); - for French
- In your theme folder, you have a .mo and a .po file. They are for
English. For other languages, duplicate the .po file, rename it, change
it's header to correspond with your chosen language, and translate the
lines it contains. For this, install Poedit, edit the .po file,
translate it to your language, and generate a .mo file for it. Both
files should be located in your theme folder.
This
template includes everything you need to get started whether you're
using it as a Content Management System, blog or combination of the two.
