  • Hi!
    First, you have to store your custom translations in a safe place – where your files are not reset by any update.
    Wordpress default is /wp-content/languages/
    For themes is: /wp-content/languages/themes/
    For plugins: /wp-content/languages/plugins/
    The path for German translation of Estatik / Estatik PRO would be: /wp-content/languages/plugins/es-plugin-de_DE.po.
    If you have your .POT file backed up, then you may put it into.
    If haven’t, must translate form scratch.
    You can translate locally with Poedit, but I’d recommend this great free plugin – Loco Translate.
    Once installed, make sure you are editing the right .PO file.
    It’s worth to learn how to use Loco Translate plugin.
