    Hi,

    how can I change the text in- and outside the comment box? My blog is entirely in German and the comment box says "Leave a comment", comment lists are called "comments" and inside the text box it says "message". Is there a way to translate (or better: customize) the text?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    We recommend to use Loco Translate plugin for the theme translation or you can translate theme manually with .po file, pls. follow the instructions: 

    1. Take file languages/thegem.pot or xx_YY.po from theme directory.

    2. Open this file with Poedit software.

    3. Translate necessary strings to your language.

    4. In software open Catalog - Settings and set Language to Translation to xx_YY.

    5. Then save the file as thegem-xx_YY. (You must have two files thegem-xx_YY.po and thegem-xx_YY.mo.)

    6. These files you need to put to the wp-content/languages/themes of your site.

    With the same operation, you can translate TheGem elements plugin.

    Just put  translations in wp-content/languages/plugins
