Betheme language mo file location

I have added the proper language file in the following locations with no success
1) betheme-child -> Languages
2) wp-content-> Languages -> Themes (changed the name to betheme-el.mo and betheme-child-el.mo)

The only location that the laguage file was read is on the main betheme/languages folder which was deleted as soon as the theme was updated.

Am I doing something wrong?
Regards,
Nikos

  • Hello Nikos,
    Those files work in pairs,
    so for each language you need to have 2 files with the same name but a
    different extension. For example, if you want to translate into German
    language, your files would be de_DE.mo and de_DE.po

    To edit these files you need to use Poedit
    an easy to use software application. Simply upload the files into
    Poedit, edit them and upload them into the"languages" folder included in
    the theme.

    thanks

  • You misunderstood me..

    I have already edited the po file, save the mo file and uploaded it in th locations I mentioned om my previous message.
  • Also only the .mo file is needed to be uploaded on the server as it is the file that is read for the translations.

    The .po file is just a text file which is compiled and saved to .mo when you save the file in poedit.
  • If you are translating the strings which are available to translate in Theme Options > Translate, you have to turn off our "Enable Translate" option in Theme Options > Translate > General

    thanks
