We’ve worked super hard to make Blocksy<\/strong> and its Companion<\/strong> plugin fully localisable. It already comes with the necessary POT<\/strong> template files, ready to be translated into any language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use any software that supports these kind of files. POedit<\/strong> is a good choice if you wish to translate these files offline. You can also use Loco Translate<\/strong> for an inbox translation experience, meaning you do not have to leave your website and download additional software to translate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our translation efforts are 100% community based. Here’s how you can contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blocksy Theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Blocksy<\/strong> theme translation files are located on WordPress.org<\/a>. You can use their built in web application to contribute to these translations, all you need is a WordPress.org account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blocksy Companion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the Blocksy Companion<\/strong> plugin, the story is extremely similar. You will need to visit the WordPress.org repository<\/a> and start translating using their web application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Getting Started with WordPress.org<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When accessing the translation project on WordPress.org, you will see a screen kind of like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>

As you can see, the list is sorted automatically by the completion of that specific language. Some of these languages have a not so complete translation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re kind, you can easily contribute to your favourite language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translating Blocksy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Simply choose your language, then click on the Blocksy project. You will be presented with all the available strings that you can translate. Ready to start editing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blocksy Companion Pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The story here is a little bit different, but similar. Because our Blocksy Companion Pro <\/strong>plugin is a separate commercial plugin, it does not adhere to the WordPress.org rules. We have to use a system that’s similar to the one of WordPress.org’s, but not as pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a little piece of software called GlotPress<\/strong> and works in exactly the same way as the translations on WordPress.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
