  3. In the window that appears you have all the strings that were used in this theme, so you just need to go    through them and write a translation.
  4. When you’re done go to File > Save as and save your translation in a *.po file as lang-code_country-code.po lang-code are found here and country-code are found here  . For example, de_DE.po will be German translation .po file.
  5. A .mo file will be automatically created in /wp-content/themes/[theme name]/languages folder.
  6. Open wp-config.php in root folder and write define('WPLANG', 'lang-code_country-code'); in this file. For example, to define German you should write define('WPLANG', 'de_DE');
