Every time I get theme update the swedish language is gone, I tried to add a language folder to my childtheme folder but it don’t work. Is here anybody who can help me how to get the language from the childtheme folder?

Hi @micke,

To load child theme’s translations files instead of parent theme, , add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php:

// Load translation files from your child theme instead of the parent theme
function my_child_theme_locale() {
load_child_theme_textdomain( 'catch-kathmandu', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_child_theme_locale' );

Then add your translated files inside a “languages” folder in the child theme.

Mahesh

Should there be <php? and ?> befora and after?

It worked, Thanks again for you help! The only thing was that I had to change this line: // Load translation files from your child theme instead of the parent theme

To this: /* Load translation files from your child theme instead of the parent theme*/

Hi @micke,

I assume there is already a <?php tag at the beginning of functions.php file. If the has been closed with ?> tag then you’ll need to <?php again but if the previous tag is not closed you don’t need <?php tag. you can omit the ?> tag at the end if there is in the code thereafter.
In php // is used for single line comment and /* */ is for multiple line comment. You can remove the line, the comment is just to make us easy what that function does.
Anyway you’ve fixed the issue and make it working, that is great.
Have a nice day.

Regards,
Mahesh
