# Localization

The frontend language of Content Egg can be different from your main WordPress language and admin dashboard language. Content Egg has its own setting for this:

* Go to **Content Egg > Settings > Frontend**.
* Set the **"Website Language"** option to choose the language used for the frontend display.

For most use cases, you can translate frontend strings directly from the WordPress dashboard. Please follow this guide:

{% content-ref url="../frontend/translation" %}
[translation](https://ce-docs.keywordrush.com/frontend/translation)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Translation via POT File

Content Egg includes two localization files:

* One for the **admin interface**
* One for the **frontend display**

In most cases, you only need to translate the **frontend**.

These localization files are located in the plugin's `/languages/` directory.

#### **Recommended Method: Loco Translate**

The easiest way to manage translations is by using the [Loco Translate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/) plugin.

**Steps to Translate the Frontend Strings:**

1. Install and activate the Loco Translate plugin
2. Go to **Loco Translate > Home**, then click on `Content Egg`
3. In the **Content Egg Frontend (content-egg-tpl)** section, click on `New language`

4. Initialize new translations

⚠️ Important – Avoid Common Mistakes:

* In the **Language selection**, choose `Custom language`
* Enter the **two-letter language code** that matches the one set in\
  Content Egg > Settings > Frontend > Website Language.

**✅ Correct:** `content-egg-tpl-fr.po`\
\&#xNAN;**❌ Incorrect:** `content-egg-tpl-fr_FR.po`
