We recommend Poedit as an easy way to translate PublishPress. Here’s how the translation process works:

• Download Poedit from poedit.net

• Run the installation script for Poedit on your desktop. Click “Create New Translation”.

• Download UpStream to your desktop.
• Select one of the existing .po files from the /languages/ folder.
• Choose the language for your translation:

• You will see a list of all the English translations. On the right-hand side there’s a blank space waiting for your translation:

• At the bottom of the screen, you can enter your translation text into the “Translation” field:

• PoEdit is a particularly useful tool because it will automatically give you translation suggestions:

• When you’re finished, click “Save” in Poedit:

• Poedit will export both a .po and an .mo file for you.
• Place these in the /wp-content/languages/publishpress/ folder. Create this folder if it doesn’t exist.
• For the files, use the naming structure you can see below. You can find a list of locale identifiers here.
  • publishpress-en_BG.po
  • publishpress-es_ES.po
  • publishpress-fr_FR.po
