Translating woocommerce items

[Katja]

Hello!
Great theme!
We are building web shop with Atelier & woocommerce and there is some text fields in english and they should be translated in to finnish. Eg. View cart, your cart is empty, Checkout, unit price, quantity…
I tried to translate them with Find and replace plugin but first it didn’t do anything and second it crashed the site/you couldn’t load the page.
I also tried PoEdit. I downloaded en_US files, translated needed words and renamed file to fi_FI and added it to atelier/language folder, but nothing happened.

What is the best & safest(updates etc) way to translate these words?

Thanks!

Thanks.

Hi!
I followed these steps:

Download your .po language file from your server directory using your FTP wp-content/themes/atelier/languages/fr_FR.po.
Search through your strings and amend the translations to your requirements and un-check the fuzzy translations (marked in yellow).
Click File => Save as.
When finished, click File => Compile to MO.
—— Originally there is no fi_FI file on directory, so I downloaded en_US and translated it, saved and compiled to MO fi_FI

Upload both your new language files fr_FR.po and fr_FR.po to the folder wp-content/themes/atelier/languages/.
—— Did this, but nothing happens.

Any ideas whats wrong?

Please confirm the naming of the file as above you have written: fi_FI this should be fr_FR for both the po and mo file.

Have you set you WP language to French within the WP Dashboard?

Thanks.

The language I’am translating everything is Finnish and that is the set language in WP dashboard.
So no french here. How can I do it?

Hi

Sorry but your message was pretty confusing, you’re using finnish? But you said ‘Upload both your new language files fr_FR.po and fr_FR.po to the folder wp-content/themes/atelier/languages/.’

If the language file is not already available, use the en_US.po file and translate it, save as fi_FI.po and fi_FI.mo and upload those files to the language folder
