I would like to translate my site from english to french. I've installed Loco translate plugin. Salient has a french translation but as I'm using the child theme I don't know how to do. There is no translation for the child theme and when I want to create a translation folder I only have 4 terms to translate. How can I do ?
I've already seen all this but the thing is that I only have a CSS file my Child Theme folder in my FTP. So how am I supposed to change any PO or MO files ? I do have a french translation ready in the original Theme but don't know how to use it for the child theme.
The French translation should be picked up from the parent theme automatically. If that does not happen try the sync button on the screenshot you sent in the initial message. Then add the translation of the text that's there.
You should then save - wait for the green success message to popup and that should do it.
If the text is still not translated please respond with temporary admin access and we will take a better look at this.
We think the translation is working as it's supposed to. Which specific strings are not translated to French? You might want to translate them in the parent theme.
We could not generate the correct template file from the source using the loco translate pluign.
Could you login to your site over FTP and replace the salient.pot in
wp-content \ themes \ salient \ lang \ salient.pot with the one attached to this message.
It has all the strings that are translatable in the theme. After replacing, edit the template on salient main theme and click the sync button.
Save and then do the same sync on the French language and then search of Read More or any other untranslated string. When done save to generate the .mo file.

Sorry forgot the salient.pot
Where can I find it ?
Hi Cadasse,
Apologies for that. Attached the file in a second message right after the initial one but the attachment did not go through.
There is a zip here with the file in it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v8xcgecidr6o9ne/salient.zip?dl=0
Let us know how his goes and we can take it from there.
