Dear Nicethemes,

I have already manually changed the language of the week days at the opening hours.
Although now I cannot remember how I did this!?

I would like to have ‘Monday : Closed’.

Where can I manually translate the word ‘closed’ without having to use a translation plugin?

Thanks, Tosca.

Hello Tosca,

Thanks for writing. The best way to translate site strings is to translate directly the .po and .mo files.

Personally, I like to use the program Poedit, you can get a copy over here: http://poedit.net/

First, download and install Poedit. Then, see that within the theme files there’s a folder named “lang”. Over there you can find the translatable files. So, you’ll need to do the following:

1. Open the file in Poedit.
On the left, there’s a box with the original message (in English) from the POT file. Beside that box is where you add your translation.
2. Go to File → Save as… to save your translations in a PO file. (must be named with the language identifier. For example, for spanish it would be es_ES.po and es_ES.mo )
3. When you are finished translating, go to File → Save as… again to generate the MO file.

Finally, you need to be running your WordPress install in the language you are trying to have the translation in.

Best,
Juan.
