    After updating the site, all theme elements in the theme’s admin got messed up. How I can restore the situation without loosing frontend translations?

    Hi,

    Theme translation files should be within a child theme so they are not overridden.

    Do you mean the WordPress admin dashboard translations are missing?

    Can you add a WP login so I can see better?

    All the admin theme functions are messed up. Not WP/WOO. Just the theme; theme options, page options etc. It’s really hard to navigate the admin now..

    Would you please add a URL/login so we can better understand what you refer to?

    it happened on atelier and Uplift (localhost).

    As soon I switched the wordpress language to Italian all the theme admin strings (and I do mean all, pages, theme options etc.) got messed up and filled with fuzzy translations (LocoTranslate).

    Since I ran out of support for Atelier but the same happened to Uplift I can give my admin login details. Please confirm.

    The fuzzy translation strings need to be changed/translated.

    If you do not put your .po file within a child theme, it will get replaced by the origional on theme update.

    So basically you’re saying that the original admin strings of the theme will get overwritten by nonsensical strings everytime I update the theme just because I switched the admin to Italian… unless I work with a child theme?!?!?!

    If you switch to the Italian language, you need to add the translations first as the language file is likely incomplete.

    To translate the theme, please read our KB article: http://www.swiftideas.com/knowledgebase/translating-the-theme-using-poedit/

    I do not wish to translate any admin strings!! Because I’m not even native Italian, I just wish the English one to back. This has never happened to me before. Not even with your themes which I have a very high opinion of.

    Your messages are really lacking clarity. To change the WordPress language you simply do so here:

    Dashboard => Settings => General => Site Language

    Example:

    Site is set in general/Site language -> English
    Change site language -> Italian
    —-
    Result: Theme admin gets messy

    Please don’t get me wrong. I love your themes. The only constant problem that I’m getting is with translations..

    Yes, if you change your site language to Italian you do need to add your own translation strings to the Italian language file.
