 * Hi
    You need to have 2 files: * the .mo (read by WordPress) * and the .po (read
   by Polylang)
 * See: [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/localization/#what-is-localization](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/localization/#what-is-localization)
 * These 2 files must be stored in wp-content/languages/themes/

 * Hi chrystl,
    thx for your reply.
 * I copied the de_DE.mo, de_DE.po and en_US.po, en_US.mo in the folder.
    What next?
   Where can I choose these files ?(sorry to be a noob..)

 * Have you create your languages in the Languages settings (Settings > Languages
   > Languages tab)?
 * After that have you the totality or few strings untranslatable?
