Light comes localization-ready out of the box. All that’s needed is a translation file for your language.
There are several methods to create a translation, most of which are outlined in the WordPress Codex. In most cases you can contribute to the project on translate.wordpress.org, however for creating custom translations, we find the easiest method is to use a plugin called Loco Translate. More advanced users can use PoEdit.
If you want to help translate Light, please visit translation page in WordPress.org. We will soon move over to Translate WordPress
Add the translations to your WordPress as follows:
wp-content/themes/light/app/languages
WordPress needs to be told which language it should run.
Go to: Dashboard > Settings > General and change the Site language.
Once this has been done, the shop displays in your locale if the language file exists. Otherwise, you need to create the language files.
