Translate dooplay theme permanently

[+ Mystik-DL]

In this tutorial I show you how to translate the dooplay theme permanently so that you do not have to re-translate it after an update.

First of all we will need a free software to edit and create an .mo file and a .po file.
Download Poedit here: https://poedit.net/download

1. Install the Poedit software
    • Follow the installer. (I do not think I need to explain how to do it is very simple. Just follow what is written.)

2. Take your mtms.pot file in the theme at the following location dooplay/lang/

3. Open your mtms.pot file with poedit
    • Right click > Open with > Poedit

4. Edit with your translations
    •  (create new translation)
    •
      ex:
      fr_FR for the French
      fr_CA for Canadians
      en_US for the Americans
      en_BR for the British
      etc ...

5. Now we save in .po and .mo
    • For the PO: File > Save As > mtms-fr_FR.po > Save (change well with your language of translation)
    • For the MO: File > Compile MO > mtms-fr_FR.mo > Save (Same... change well with your language of translation)

6. Put your files

mtms-fr_FR.mo |
                          | In wp-content/languages/themes/
mtms-fr_FR.po  |

 

That's all for me.

If you have any questions I speak french and english do not hesitate in the comments !

I am in full translation of the original file to French. (Mine is a bit modifier so I want to provide you with a clean translation)
