I am using Loco Translate to translate wordpress and woocommerce. Great plugin, but unfortunately some string translations are not visible/working on the frontend at the checkout page and cart. Could this be a child team problem?
Strings are know in Loco Translate and correctly translated, they are only not showing up at frontend.

Help is appreciated.
Go to wp-content and uploads directory. create a new directory and name it as same as the plugin name. then create a new directory and name it languages.
now upload your .po and .mo files in it.
the problem is solved!
Force WP to load the language file from languages/loco/themes/.. directory, like this inside functions.php:
add_action ( 'wp', 'load_translations' );
function load_translations() {
load_theme_textdomain( 'theme-name-here' );
}
Update: you should contact the creator of the (child) theme.
Every single component that displays text (i.e.: almost all of them), including themes and plugins, need to have included multilingual support for it to work.
Woocommerce does it, but you might have other components that do not. If you have a custom theme, that would be the first thing I'd check.
Unfortunately, if this is the case there is nothing you can do about it other than not use it, accept that that part of the site will not be translated or ask the developer who made them to put in the extra work to add multilingual support.

In my case it was a wordpress language problem. I resolved this by changing it from English to my target translation language. To achive this in your wordpress panel go to: Settings -> General -> find language and change it.

I am a complete novice and need to change the "Your Order" title to "Deine Bestellung" on the checkout page of my WordPress (WooCommerce) page, built with the Customify theme.
http://nachhaltige-bildung-afrika.de/checkout/
I tried various "translate" code snippets, but they didn't work. I cannot find the checkout.php fine in my theme folder. I have a child theme, but it isn't there either and adding code to the child functions.php also did not work. Anyone know how to change this? I would much appreciate your help. Thanks!
In most cases the used WordPress theme has a translation file in .po file format. The location of these files is in the directory of the theme itself (mostly in a language folder) or at wp-content/languages/themes or in a subfolder of a installed WordPress plugin.
You can edit these .po files with a tool called PoEdit. It 's freeware and ready to use after you 've downloaded it. Just open the .po file of your active theme and search for the phrase you want to translate. Keep in mind, that you have to create a new .po file in german format de_DE. In PoEdit you can chose at the beginning what you want to do. Just chose create translation from existing file. Then you have to chose the language you want to translate to and then just save this file.
Beware. Badly coded WordPress themes are not using the translation support of WordPress. To prove that, just have a look in the templates of your used theme and check, if the used phases are outputted with one of WordPress' l18n functions.
You can edit the .POT file of your main WordPress Theme adding the required string (in this case "Your Order") using a plain text editor, like Notepad++, Sublime or similar.
Just take the same format used on all the another rows presents in that file.
After that, the string appears readable and editable into the Poedit program.
I am making Wordpress/WooCommerce webiste, and I am using "Storefront" as theme, but now I have problem because I am not making website in English, so now I want to change buttons text, on example "View Basket", "Checkout" and "Add to Basket".
But I don't know where can I change it in code. Or what I need to do to change it?
You can install Storefront in a language of your choice. You might want to follow this guide https://docs.woothemes.com/document/installing-storefront-in-your-language/
There you will also find the link to create a custom WooCommerce Localization
You will need to decide what fits your needs.
Custom translations can basically be done by putting translation files into
wp-content/languages/themes/
For Storefront name the file
storefront-it_IT.mo
You will find more information on the refered link
Ok what is properly answer here, and most easiest solution: You should download translated files for your language, probably Wordpress community from your country did it already. So zipped files you should unzip and insert into
wp-content/languages/themes and wp-content/languages/plugins. You should have 2 files with .po and .mo extensions. After that simply go in your dashboard->settings->Site language: "Your language".
And that should be it.

I wanted to make a wordpress website in 2 languages. English and Arabic. I wanted to make pages, categories and menus in 2 languages when user select English only English pages will shown to the user and when select Arabic only Arabic pages,categories and menus will be shown. ONLY Posts will remain the same for both. Every thing except posts will be changed user user.
You can do the following:
Get the the language pack (e.g. de_DE.mo) from wordpress.org. If the language pack isn't available as a standalone download, you could also use the .mo file which is bundled in the WordPress ZIP-file for your language. Located under wp-content/languages.
Move the .mo file to wp-content/languages/ of your default (english) WordPress installation.
Change the WPLANG constant in wp-config.php to the new locale (e.g. de_DE)
In your functions.php add the following filter:
functions.php
add_filter('locale', 'wpse27056_setLocale');
function wpse27056_setLocale($locale) {
if ( is_admin() ) {
return 'en_US';
}
return $locale;
}

Take a look at WordPress Codex - Translating WordPress
Additionally you can use WP plugins especially for translating your WP website:
Codestyling Localization
User Language Switch
Have a look about for a plugin that would do this for you.
I would say WPML plugin would be prefect for what you are trying to do, but this is a premium plugin and costs http://wpml.org .
hi M Usman Tahir i already work on 3 website that has multilangauge
follow the to see www.decidact.com
this website is in 5 language
1)download polylang plugind for your post content
2)downlaod codingstylelocalization for caption tranlsation
i am trying to make my website support 2 languages that users can switch between them, i bought a theme that has a language directory with .po files such as en_US.po fr_FR.po and more. i copied the english file and translated it into Arabic, in order to apply the Arabic translation i have to rename the ar_EG.po to en_US.po which leaves me with 1 language option and i need to have both Arabic and English. Is there a way that i can make my website switch between 2 .PO files instead of 1 or can i make a new folder inside my word press installation with the same website but with the other language file working and both of the websites linked to the same database?
There are various plugins to manage multilanguage sites; I would personally recommend Polylang since it's free, very easy to use and makes a smart use of WordPress APIs so it's developer friendly, if you would need that. Also, every content gets its own URL, which it's good for SEO.
After installation, go into Settings → Languages to define the languages of your site. The plugin provides a widget that will enable your visitors to change the language of the site, as well as an special nav menu item.
You should keep the theme translation as ar_EG.po; the plugin and language switcher that comes with it will take care of loading the appropiate language file for the theme.
ya elipelavinz is right that plugins name is polylnag
if you want to tranlate your theme caption use codingstyleloalization
codingstylelocalization translate only __() caption or _e() function
I am working on a site in which I have to give the option of 3 languages on the front page.
I searched a lot and was successful in translating the theme using .pot files but it is translating only the default strings of Wordpress.
I want to translate the post/page contents too which we are adding from wp-admin.
I don't want to do it with any Google translator or sidebar plugin. I want to offer this option in the index page.
Any help will be welcome.
Consider using i18n plugins such as qTranslate
