First, add the Loco Translate plugin

First search for Loco Translate within your Plugins section and install it.

2. Check you can switch Language

Next, make sure that you have WordPress set up in your language of choice. Go to Settings > General and under Site Language – switch to the language you want to use.

Finally, click the Start translating button to begin.
