This theme is localization ready and can be translated into many languages using the included .po/.mo files. These translation files can be found in the languages folder inside the theme folder. To translate these files you will need a translation editor such as Poedit http://www.poedit.net/ .

 

Using Poedit to translate the theme.

It is important that the name you give the file is the same as the WordPress Locale for your language. For example for French the WordPress Locale is fr_FR, for Spanish it is es_ES. For a full list of these locale names visit http://wpcentral.io/internationalization/.
  7. With the files saved you need to navigate to the theme’s languages folder on your server. Its address should be wp-content/themes/gym-life/languages. Add both the saved .po and .mo files to this directory.
