 * I would like some help with setting a different language. More specifically is
   where I encounter the problem: the search page which shows: 0 SEARCH RESULTS 
   FOR “XXXXXX”.
    I would like to have this translated to Dutch. In the languages
   folder of the theme there is only an empty .pot-file if I am correct. The theme
   looks translated to Dutch ([https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/rife-free/nl/default/](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/rife-free/nl/default/)).
   I downloaded the language pack and placed it in the languages folder, however
   it is still not Dutch. Can someone explain me how to make everything Dutch? Thanks
   in advance!

 * Hey 🙂
 * We will have to wait until someone accepts those translations.
 * Until then you can regenerate translation file(*.mo) [https://rifetheme.com/help/docs/translations/translating-theme/#how-to-prepare-a-translation-file](https://rifetheme.com/help/docs/translations/translating-theme/#how-to-prepare-a-translation-file)
 * I believe that generated files should be put in **wp-content/languages/themes**
   with theme slug as prefix, something like _rife-free-pl\_PL.mo_.
 * With kind regards.

 * I have the same problem here ([https://supermetas.com.br](https://supermetas.com.br)).
   I can’t translate the search result page to brazilian portuguese. I already put
   the po and mo files at the folder.

 * Hey [@georgio27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgio27/)
 * Where did you exactly put files and how have you named them?
    Also, a live link
   would help as well.
 * With kind regards.
