Hello,
I would like to translate the theme with WPML, but I don’t understand how to translate the menu and widgets. I’ve created two menus, one french and one italian, but only the french one is showing (on the italian and the french pages).
Could you also tell me what’s the best way to use this WPML? A whole day reading on this subject but I don’t understand if it’s better using .mo file or not….
Thank you very much for you help.

Hi eymata!
1) mo files will not translate the page/post content, the menu(s) and widgets. You need to use WPML if you want to translate these things. mo files will only help you to translate hardcoded text strings which are part of the theme php files (i.e. like the word “search” in the search form).
2) You can use this plugin: to translate the widgets: https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-widgets/
3) For the menus please read this article: http://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/
Cheers!
