Hi everybody!
No doubt ENFOLD and WPML is realy good project. I bought them so I need a Russian translation for ENFOLD front- and back- ends.
I am trying to use in WPML .mo files included into Enfold theme folder in wp-content/themes/enfold/lang for language xchange. I visited to admin panel and generate files .mo from .po by CodeStyling Localization Plagin and translate the theme and save a result. The text-domain for Enfold theme was ‘avia_framework’
I expected to see: add ru_RU and en_EN back-ends and switcher of WPML to xchange it.
Instead, I got: switcher is exist but it do nothing. only english theme interface in admin panel in the ENFOLD is for any switcher position. No Russian in menus in backend. As I understand WPML do not find some translation files and so – do nothind.
Please tell me, what was wrong and how to point existimg .mo-files to WPML to translate backend of the theme?March 24, 2015 at 12:35 am #416811Hi Al!
This is more of a WPML issue than a theme one, the backend switcher won’t change the admin language, it is there so you can change the site content for the language selected. More info:

I downloaded the enfold theme po file, ru_RU.po, from your ftp and I discovered the problem.
The translation in .po / .mo file is not complete and misses all the backend strings. This is why you see all the Enfold options only in English.
You have these options:
– You can ask the theme author if he has a more complete .mo file with all the backend string translated.
– You can translate the missing strings with Codestyling’ plugin or Poedit.
– You can use the Chrome browser that has an instant page translation feature.
Now for the good news:
– The frontend strings are translated so your visitors will see a completely translated website.
– Your theme is WPML compatible and this means that you can have different theme settings based on language (a different logo or favicon for English and Russian visitors, for example).
To change the backend admin language just go to: ‘Users -> Your profile’ and ‘Select your language’
If you need something else please let me know.

He is correct, the strings in the Enfold Theme Options (http://screencast.com/t/CMMtL4KXD) are not yet translated to Russian, but they’re translatable, i just changed “Theme Options” to “Theme Options RU” in CodeStyling Localization and you could see it working right now.
Best regards,
JosueMarch 25, 2015 at 7:46 pm #418108Hello, Josue! Thank you for your time.
It may be so – switcher probably is really working, but I still do not dig how to russify interface.
This is not problem for now. I can read English. In case if this problem will be solved by your team in the nearest time – it’s OK for me.
Mean I can start to put content into my site.
But In the nearest future this problem will come back to me. I’m expect a moment when I’ll have some new administrators on my site for Italian and France languager (I dont know it at all, an they do not know English could you imagine this situation).
And how do you think now: can I put a content, or have to solve interface translation problem before?
Can I solve interface translation problem to Russian, English, Italian and France, when I’ll have a lot of multilangual content in a base?
Thank you in advance. What’ll be your advise?
Thank you.

JosueMarch 26, 2015 at 8:42 am #418357Hey!
I know that. And what well be with theme. It’ll not translated after it?March 26, 2015 at 10:08 am #418374Hmm, not sure what did you mean, could you elaborate?
Regards,
JosueMarch 26, 2015 at 12:18 pm #418459..I’m trying to understand the following:
1. whether the scheme (front-end and back-end) will be transferred to my site into other languages by changing the language of administration by switch? Or everything will be the same as with the Russian language – nothing after swittching?
In this case, my friends will not be able to work.
2. Can I fix the above in future, without loss of multilingual content of site, that I’m going to create.
3. It can be setup above WPML multilanguage part of your offer online sales: Install & setup with Envato Studio for $ 50? It would be excellent for me!
Thank U!March 26, 2015 at 7:27 pm #418760Hey!
By scheme you mean the Theme Options found in “Enfold”? those are saved per language, but not per user, so you’d only need to save them in each language and that would be it.
If you need additional help with third-party plugins, etc i’d recommend you checking out Codeable:

JosueMarch 28, 2015 at 7:49 am #419800Hey!
Right! I mean so : scheme I mean as Theme Options in “Enfold” menu of WordPress.
But I do not understand how to “you’d only need to save them in each language and that would be it”
You men I have to put language files of theme from one directory to another? Where from and where, please?
Or you mean that I hawe to use CodeStyling Localization plagin? Yes, I do generate .mo file from Enfold v3.1.2 file: lang/ru_RU.po to Textdomain: avia_frmework – but result is nothing. May be I have to copy .mo to another directory.
Whether there is a theme documentation with some instructions for me how to set up the theme localization with WPML?
Please tell me what am I doing wrong?Best regards,
AlexPS. Thanks a lot for Codeable link.
