Is it a cumbersome process? It really isn't as much as it sounds. In a few minutes you can have it quite on track if you take it hard. So if more trouble, we start:

How to translate themes and plugins from WordPress

This plugin that allows you to do this is Loco translate. It is wonderful because once you add it to your WordPress, you can modify the translations you have in the current theme and in the plugins, as well as create new ones as you need. Of course we are dealing with a completely free plugin that will allow you to translate themes and plugins very quickly, because they almost give us all the work done beforehand.

These are the steps to follow:

Go to WordPress> Plugins> Add new> Type " crazy translate " (another option is to go to the previous link, download it and then add it from the Plugins). You can check just in case it is compatible with your version of Wordpress, although in general it does not give problems with any theme, so I do not think you will have a problem.Once installed and activated, it will appear in the WordPress panel, click on it to configure it. You will see something like what we show you in the following image:

Getting started with Loco Translate

If you have already installed this plugin, now we are going to tell you how you can configure it. Actually, it comes half configured by default, let's say, you just have to check that everything is fine and that if some translations are incomplete or do not exist, you will simply have to add them.

From the panel, the first thing you have to do is click on " settings " to configure the plugin and / or see that everything is to your liking, activated as you prefer. By default it is correct, that is, you do not need to touch it. You just have to make sure you have checked the option of " use built-in MO compiler ". Now enter the themes to see all the available translation lists. It is what we show you in the following image. You can see that for the Zerif Lite theme (free) there are complete translations but in the case of Polish, it is only 21%. It would not affect us at all, but someone from Poland would have to add the missing translations.

From here you can edit the translations you want just by clicking on it. Then the editor will open and you can modify it to your liking if you want. When you're done, you put it away and you're done. It could happen that your language does not come out, if so, you just create it and modify it to your liking so that it is displayed to the public in the correct way.

Once you have done this, you can have your theme and the plugins you want translated at the click of a button. You just have to activate the plugin and check the translations to have your translations on your page.

You will be able to share your translations with the WP community (and vice versa)

You can also activate or deactivate the plugin whenever you want because you will not lose the translations you have made, and you can share them with the community. This is great, because together you can have all the songs translated.

You can see that in a matter of minutes just by installing the plugin and configuring it as we have told you, you will be able to translate the plugins and themes that you want with total freedom from WordPress.
