How to switch theme language when using Child Theme

Sparkling
1

Hi,

I am trying to translate teme to Croatian, hr_HR language.
Page is www.test.uredjenje-doma.com

I have put define(‘WPLANG’, ‘hr_HR’); in Functions.php
I have put hr_HR.po and hr_HR.mo files in /language folder of theme.

I am using child theme.
I have also put hr_HR.po and hr_HR.mo files in /language folder of child theme,
and have put load_theme_textdomain( ‘sparkling’, get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/languages’ ); in functions.php of the child theme.

No page is translated to Croatian.
Please help!

OK, I have found the answer myself, so I will share it.

The folder for translations is not /languages in theme folder, but /wp-content/languages/themes and you have to change .po and .mo file names to sparkling-hr.po and sparkling-hr.mo

“hr” is code for Croatian language.
