How to translate the strings without WPML

Option 1:

First of all, we recommend to use the PO Edit to edit and/or translate the static strings of Movedo.
When you install it follow the steps below:

  1. Go to /movedo/languages/ folder, open the .pot file and generate the po/mo files in your language.
  2. Translate the strings in your language into the “Translation” column.
  3. Click to save the file when you finish the translation. Then one .mo file will be created in the same directory.
  4. Upload these 2 files in /movedo/languages/ folder.
  5. Finally, you need to go to Settings > General and at the bottom of this page select your preferred language.

Option 2:

An alternative solution is with the usage of the Loco Translate plugin. You can easily locate the theme strings and edit these as you wish. This great plugin will regenerate the po/mo files with your changes.
