YITH translation not working. Help please. | WordPress.org

My site is set to french canada in WP general setting. Woocmmerce general translation are ok. But YITH themes specific are not.

As an example, in the account info page. Text: Shipping info & address is in eng.

Saw that there was no french po file in \wp-content\themes\yith-proteo\languages. So I’ve created one. Added a file called yith-proteo-fr_CA.po in \wp-content\themes\yith-proteo\languages

But still, the translations arent working.

Tried to change WP general setting to spanish to see if spanish translation are working. There was already an yith-proteo-es_ES.po file in \wp-content\themes\yith-proteo\languages. Nope.

Well well….

Do I need to run something after putting the file? Or do I need to choose Fr Canada in some oter WP settings? Theme settings maybe?

Any help appreciated!

Hello there,
please move your custom language files to wp-content/languages/themes/

This is the right place to put customized translations

Hello. Thanks!

But are you sure?

In this folder, there is only 3 YITH translations file, and no english :

yith-proteo-es_ES.l10n.php
yith-proteo-es_ES.mo
yith-proteo-es_ES.po

However, /wp-content/themes/yith-proteo/languages there is a lot (7)
See here https://imgur.com/a/tbIqIIF. And there is a readme file in this folder that says: Place your theme language files in this directory.

Also, what is the correct way to generate a new one? According to the Proteo doc on Github page, we are supposed to generate one here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/yith-proteo/

However, the generated .po file from this is very different from yith-proteo-es_ES.po present in wp-content/languages/themes/ or /wp-content/themes/yith-proteo/languages.

Also, how should we name it correctly? Do we have to add l10n at the end?

So
1. Which folder exactly? Whats is the difference between both
2. How to generate a new one
3. How to name it correctly
