Translating a WordPress Theme

The Scenario

Your theme is on ThemeForest or WordPress.org. Translations mean a broader market and more sales.

Same Workflow, Theme-Specific Tips

Follow the same steps as plugin translation, but set the project type to Theme. Files go in /wp-content/languages/themes/.

💡Tip: Update Translations With Each Theme Version
New version → new .pot → upload → Translation Memory handles repeat strings for free.
