Translation & Internationalization
MagOne comes with .po/.pot file included under the wp-content/themes/flatnews/languages folder. The front-end strings are in flatnews.pot file. To translate front-end:
- Download and install Poedit.
- Open flatnews.pot in Poedit. Translate as needed.
- Save the file with the ISO language code locale. You can check this list (look under "WP Locale") to find the locale. If your locale is
en_GBIn this case, you would save your file asen_GB.po - Step above should have generated a .po and an .mo file. Copy both these files under the wp-content/themes/flatnews/languagesfolder.
- Go to Settings > General and select your language next to Site Language.
- Save a backup of these files somewhere safe. If you upgrade the theme from WordPress admin, the language files will have to be re-uploaded.
If you wish to translate the backend too, you will have to follow the same steps as above but the pot file is sneeit-framework.pot and under the wp-content/plugins/sneeit-framework/languages folder.
RTL Version
For languages that read from right-to-left unlike English which is left-to-right, MagOne will automatically switch to an RTL style, as long as you it's in your language and uses the correct locale (as explained above).
Multilingual Sites
For multilingual sites, the best way is to purchase the WPML Plugin. MagOne is compatible with the plugin.
When using WPML, we recommend you use Display the language switcher in the WP Menu option and select Main Menu. This will display the languages drop down menu in the main navigation menu.
