Crocal also offers multiple predefined positions for the language switcher, in the top bar of our Theme and in the Menu Elements, just beside the menu. Additionally, if you need to adjust a custom language switcher, there is a specific reference in here.

How to translate your admin texts via WPML

You should now go to WPML > Translation Dashboard (this is where all content is translated now), then to the Other texts (Strings) section. From there, you can filter to find the strings from a theme, select as many as you want and send them to translation in bulk. This is much easier than String Translation, which requires adding the translation string by string. The recommended translation method is PTC, WPML’s new AI, which produces the most accurate results and requires no post-review effort.

How to translate the strings without WPML

Option 1:

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

1. Go to /crocal/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 /crocal/languages/ folder.
5. Finally, go to Settings > General, then at the bottom of the page, select your preferred language.

Option 2:

An alternative is to use the Loco Translate plugin. You can easily locate the theme strings and edit them as you wish. This great plugin will regenerate the PO/MO files with your changes.
