Hey there, I was trying to create a custom string like this one in the theme
<p><?php _e( 'Made with &hearts; in El Salvador', '__x__' ) ?></p>

Then I’ve added the text domain on my child theme style.css
Text Domain: __x__

Then I’ve added the following on my functions

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'load_child_language' );
	function load_child_language() {
		load_child_theme_textdomain( '__x__', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' );
}

and of course the folder “languages” on my child theme.

And using the x.pot I’ve created the following files:
__x__-es_ES.po and __x__-es_ES.mo

On those files, you will see the string to translate the text above:
Made with ♥ in El Salvador

I’ve attached the files so you can check that are readable and working.

And I’m using WPML, the page is in spanish as default, but when I enter to the spanish site, I always see the string in english.

Thanks in advance for any help that you could give.

Hello There,

Please follow this link for translation:https://community.theme.co/kb/translation/

Since you have uploaded your translation on your child theme, file should be es_ES.po es_ES.mo. I have open the pot file and the translation is not provided. The link above discuss this in detailed.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply, actually I’ve added both files but got an error saying that I couldn’t upload those 2 files due to security issues.

But in to .pot file, at the end you will find that line, because as test I’ve added just that one.

Here’s a screenshot of the files and location: http://prntscr.com/c0xnko

Hi There,

Please check the filename on the first screenshot. Without this: __x__-.

I open your current X pot file. See POEDIT.PNG below. I did select the text you have added, then ADD the translated text -> Made with ♥ in El Salvador SPANISH TRANSLATION IS THIS. Then go to File > Compile to MO (POEDIT2.PNG). I did save it as es_ES.mo. (POEDIT3.PNG).

Hope this helps.
