WPTouch works great with WPML. In this tutorial, we will explain how to translate text that comes with WPTouch themes and extensions.<\/p>\n

- The WPTouch plugin<\/a><\/li>\n
- One of WPtouch\u2019s extensions (We use the Mobilestore theme<\/a> in this tutorial)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Essential Resources:<\/h2>\n\n- WPML\u2019s Getting Started Guide<\/a> will help you in setting up WPML in only a few minutes. You will want to refer to some of its subtopics later, such as Theme and Plugin Localization<\/a> and String Translation<\/a>. We recommend you keep the Getting Started Guide open while following this tutorial.<\/li>\n
- WP Touch documentation<\/a> has an excellent collection of tutorials that can help you get started.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Translating Strings Coming from WPTouch Themes and Extensions<\/h2>\n
WPTouch allows one-click downloading and installation of additional themes and extensions. The extensions are saved in wp-content\/wptouch-data. As you can see, this path is outside the default plugin directory. WPML String Translation scans \u00a0everything inside the themes directory (wp-content\/themes) and the plugins directory (wp-content\/plugins). We will create and import .po files into the String Translation table so you can translate these strings with WPML.<\/p>\n
First, make sure you enabled theme and plugins localization in WPML, You can do that by going to WPML > Theme and plugin localization, then choosing \u201cTranslate the theme and plugins using WPML\u2019s String Translation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mobilestore theme, which is a WPTouch extension, does not come with a .po file, so we must create one.<\/p>\n
Obtain zipped theme files from your site after it is downloaded using the WPTouch installer. This can be done by following these steps:<\/p>\n
\n- Go to the WordPress directory.<\/li>\n
- Then, go to wp-content\/wptouch-data\/themes.<\/li>\n
- Locate the theme folder. In our case, it will be the \u201cmobilestore” folder.<\/li>\n
- Download the mobilestore files and compress them with a .zip extension.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe second step is to create our .po file:<\/p>\n
\n- After getting the zipped theme file, you can extract strings and export .po files using various tools. ICL PHP Scanner will do the trick. http:\/\/www.icanlocalize.com\/tools\/php_scanner<\/a><\/li>\n
- Upload the zipped file by clicking on the \u201cBrowse\u2026\u201d button next to \u201cPHP file to process (required)\u201d:.<\/li>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nOnce you have the wptouch-pro.po file, upload it to your site using the WPML String Translation screen. Remember to assign the correct context for imported strings (if the \u00a0wptouch-pro context is missing, create a new context with that name).<\/p>\n
\n- Go to WPML >> String Translation >> Import \/ export .po section.<\/li>\n
- Next to \u201c.po file\u201d:, click the \u201dBrowse\u2026\u201d button and upload the wptouch-pro.po<\/li>\n
