Translation & multilingual sites

The theme (text domain news) and News. Core (news-core) are fully translatable. Templates: news/languages/news.pot and news-core/languages/news-core.pot. Translate them with Loco Translate or Poedit and save the files as wp-content/languages/themes/news-xx_XX.po/.mo and wp-content/languages/plugins/news-core-xx_XX.po/.mo.

WPML and Polylang read the theme’s wpml-config.xml: the theme texts from the settings (footer, paywall, buttons, labels…) become translatable strings, kicker, dek and review are translated per story, and the other story settings are copied to translations.
