    Hi,

    is it possible to change the language in  the shop to german? I dont want to use several languages, and for only one language the wpml plugin is too expensive. I only have to change some few words.

    Thank you in Advance and best regards,

    Hi Peter,

    If you change the language on Wordpress, it will automatically change to that language on WooCommerce too.

    Then if you still need to translate/rename theme strings, you can do this via Loco Translate plugin. If you don't have this plugin, please install and activate it in your WordPress site.

    1. Then go to Loco Translate > Manage Translations

    2. Click "New Language" for the current active theme (if you didn't created it yet, otherwise ignore this step). On the new language page, choose these options – click here http://d.pr/i/1ewoc

    3. After that you will be redirected to the editing screen for theme translations. Before you continue make sure this is true – click here http://d.pr/i/18h0w

    4. Follow these instructions to learn how to translate strings – http://d.pr/i/1jsek

    5. The changes will be applied immediately – http://d.pr/i/1ju6w



    Note: Translation files will be saved to wp-content/themes/{theme-name}/languages folder. Here you have the explanation – http://d.pr/i/1lBCJ

    After you make your changes, always save a backup when there is new theme update. After you update the theme (languages folder will be replaced), just move the backup files you previously saved to the same languages directory and your changes will still be applied.

    Please backup your translated .po and .mo files (not kalium.pot).
