In case the language you need **already exists**, double-check this:

If the **folder** is **"Author"** You need to use the <mark style="color:red;">**copy**</mark> option to create your language with the Folder **"Other"**&#x20;

**NOTE**: We recommend you don't choose a location in themes/elessi/lang/, because after you update the theme all your custom files will be lost.

**NOTE:** If you face problems with translation, you need to be sure that your translation files are synchronized. Button Sync (Loco Translate plugin) allows synchronizing your translation file with the .pot file. Then you will be able to translate untranslated strings.&#x20;
