1) What is the best way to make an Arabic copy of my site? Please guide me.. shall I use WPML or there is better plugin? Shall I use Loco Translate plugin first.. import the strings then use WPML?

2) Do you have all the strings translated to Arabic or I need to do it by myself? If you have them, how to use them?

By the way, I have read all your knowledge base articles (https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/theme-translation/), I am trying WPML and imported the Arabic .po file from GitHub but the translated text is 2% only of the text (not the products of course).

3) The slider disappeared in the Arabic home page and the Products menu was replaced. Please help.

4) Can I use different font for Arabic language? and if so, how can I use a Google font?

Hello,

1) Do you want just to translate site to Arabic or create multilingual site? If you want just translate site then you can use Loco translate https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/theme-translation/base-theme-translation/ If you want to create a multilingual site you need to use WPML or any other plugin for these purposes https://colorlib.com/wp/wordpress-multilingual-plugins/

2) We have the translation for the Arabic https://www.8theme.com/topic/%f0%9f%87%a6%f0%9f%87%aa-arabic-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b9%d8%b1%d8%a8%d9%8a%d8%a9-ar/#post-235616 It includes 16% translated strings.

3) Did you add the slider to content of the Arabic home page? Provide us with the WP Dashboard access to the site to check. What do you mean by “Products menu was replaced”? Describe in more detail.

4) We don’t have the option to use different fonts for different languages. You can use different fonts only for body, headings and menu. To change the font go to Theme Options > Typography.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

1) Yes.. I have already installed WPML for this (but still not registered). But it seems to me I have to do the translation by myself or pay (a lot of) money for it.

2) I have already installed it. Where can I find a list of all strings in your theme with those 16% Arabic translated strings as table (or Excel sheet)?

3) No.. do I have to add it manually? Admin credentials are in the Private content area.
Regarding Products menu.. please see the English one which is a mega menu and the Arabic version whish is the main menu.

4) Is there anyway I can do this? The Arabic font is currently unreadable.

Regards.

Please contact administrator

Hello,

1) Our theme comes with partial translation. If you have some missing strings you need to translate them by yourself.

2) Translation files placed in the wp-content/languages/themes folder and WPML takes it in addition to string translator. You can check it using Loco Translate plugin http://prntscr.com/v335gd . Header strings you can translate using admin strings option http://prntscr.com/v332zo

3) Added. We edited page content and added the slider.
3.a) Go to Static Blocks > translate mega menu static blocks.

4) Choose the google font that will be suitable for both languages and that supports both languages https://fonts.google.com/?subset=arabic

Hi,

1 & 2) I have converted your theme’s .PO file to Excel and translated some strings (bypassing theme backend strings).. I will convert it back to .PO and send you a copy. I am just facing some issues with preserving the .PO comments.

3) Thank you.

4) This will not solve the problem. But I have found how to do it using WPML (https://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-to-set-different-fonts-for-different-language/).

Thanks for everything.

I have uploaded the new updated .PO file using WPML to XStore and XStore Core.

1) How can I send you a copy? (use it as you wish).

2) How can I update Locu to see translation progress?

Regards.

Hello,

1) You can upload your translation here http://prntscr.com/v3yg04 https://www.8theme.com/forums/xstore-wordpress-support-forum/xstore-translation-files-sharing/
2) Sorry, don’t understand your question. If you want to check the number of translated strings in your .po file you can go to Loco translate > Themes > XStore > edit translation.
