If I want to translate the entire website into Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English, including theme settings that cannot be changed, how should I set the default language?

When starting the project, I was told that I could use any language, including Chinese. However, I noticed that some theme settings are in English and cannot be modified.

If I want to have three versions of the website translated into Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English, what should the default language be set to?

Hi,

so you actually want to translate strings that appear in your default language, English still as English, because your theme doesn't include any language file (.PO) for it.

You can translate the English String here via String Translation, so they will appear on your Default Chinese language as translated: hidden link.

The location itself is not showing in other languages, as the CPT entries have not been translated yet: hidden link.
