These instructions are for SINGLE LANGUAGE translation and also can be applied to ENGLISH language users who want to just CHANGE TEXT (Example: Add Listing to Submit Listing). ENGLISH language users shouldn’t get confused with the word Translation here, as this is the only way to change all default text like many other themes.
Before proceeding you must check the selected default language from WordPress Dashboard Settings > General > Site Language that matches the language which you are translating in Loco Translate. For example, if you are translating the site into Brazilian Portuguese then make sure the Site Language, Português (Portuguese) is selected.
The above language should match the language (Portuguese) you are planning to create or have already created in Loco Translate.
