Using Po File
There are 2 ways to create and edit the po file

- You have to generate the mo file after translating
- Please refer to our detailed article on using LocoTranslate plugin

Using WPML
In this section, you will know how to build a multilingual website by using the WPML plugin. All the information needs to get started and use it is on the WPML.org page.
Below are some reference links:
Installing and Setting Up the WPML plugin
You need to install a recent version of WPML, including the String Translation, Translation Management and CMS Navigation modules. After installing these plugins, you set up Languages from WPML > Languages and translate your content.
Translating Pages and Posts
Go to All Pages and pick a page for translation. Click on the plus icon. If the page is already translated, the plus icon will be replaced with a pen icon.

WPML actually creates a new WordPress page, linked to the original one. In this new page, you can add new content as you normally do. You can also keep the original content, just translate into the new language.
Translating Categories
To translate a category, click on the language which you want to translate it and then add a new category. Make sure the new category is linked to an original category.

Translating Menus
You go to Appearance > Menus. Just add a new menu. You select the language and the original menu which links to the new menu.

WPML can synchronize menus for you. This means that WPML can generate and keep in sync menus for other languages pointing to the translated versions of the pages, posts or categories.
Translating the theme and other texts
You go to WPML > String Translation. Find the text in the list and translate it. Please make sure you check the Translation is complete checkbox after translating.
Sometimes, some texts are not translated. First, you need to go to WPML > Theme and Plugins localization. You click on the Scan the theme for strings button. Then, you go back to the String Translation page and find those texts.
