    Hi,

    I would like to translate my theme (Mission WP) with Loco Translate.
    I installed the French language but it doesn’t work.
    When I click on “Sync”, I see this error message : Error : Invalid MO format.
    I tried to install another French version like French (Belgium), and it appears the same message …

    Could you help me?

    Thanks

    I suspect the current version of Loco Translate is not compatible with your theme.

    The error message is misleading, but the most common root cause is that Loco Translate doesn’t understand how your theme is set up and has ended up looking at the wrong files.

    There is no fix for this issue in the current 1.5.x branch of the plugin. You will have to translate your theme manually, or with some other software.

    The next major release of the plugin (2.0) will hopefully address this, but as it’s a pay-for theme it won’t be added to list of themes to test against.

    Thank you for your answer.
    Fingers crossed
    Do you know a easy and good way to translate manually this theme?

    Not knowing this theme, I can’t tell you how easy or difficult it will be. Manual translation can get technical. There is lots to read about it. Perhaps start here.

    I suggest you contact the theme author for help translating it. Especially, as you paid money for it.
