How to Translate a WPZOOM Theme Using TranslatePress

Need a Multilingual plugin for your website? We recommend TranslatePress PRO. With this plugin you can easily add a language selector, translate posts, pages, menus, widgets and much more.

1. Change the Language of Your WordPress Site

If you need to change some strings in English (i.e., “Read More”, “Designed by”), then jump to step #4.

All WPZOOM themes are internationalized, so you can easily translate them into any language you want.

To translate a WordPress theme into a different language, you have to change the language of your WordPress site to the same language in which you plan to translate the theme.

Go to Settings > General.

Settings > General

Select the Română option from the Site Language drop-down menu to translate the theme to Romanian (ro_RO).


2. Download and Install the TranslatePress Plugin

Every WPZOOM theme comes with a .pot file containing all the text to be translated.

You can use different tools to translate a theme, but our favorite is the TranslatePress plugin, which is very easy to use. Go ahead and install the plugin, and after that, make sure to activate it.

Go to Plugins > Add New Plugin.

Add new plugin

Search for “translatepress” and click “Install Now” and then “Activate” to install and activate the plugin.


3. Add a New Language or Translate

Once the plugin is activated, navigate to Settings > TranslatePress from your Dashboard or click the Translate Site link in the admin bar at the top.

From the TranslatePress Settings page, you can easily configure your site to be multilingual or translate the theme into the needed language.

Select your site’s default language from the Default Language drop-down menu.

To start translating your website into a new language, select the language under “All Languages“, click “Add“, scroll down, and click “Save Changes“.


4. Translate Your Content and Theme Strings

When viewing your website, you will notice a new “Translate Page” item in the admin bar at the top:

Clicking on that item will open a new interface where you can choose the text or theme strings you want to translate:

You can repeat this process for all text or theme strings you need to translate.

The color of the editing icon makes it easy to differentiate which content is saved in your database (blue icon) and which text is a theme string (green icon).

Theme strings are normally generic words like “Read More” or “Designed by WPZOOM”, which are a part of your theme. These words can also be easily translated using TranslatePress:
