Translation System

The Flavor Starter Theme includes a built-in translation system for customizing all UI labels without traditional WordPress translation files.

How It Works

Instead of using WordPress __() or esc_html_e(), the theme uses its own translation functions:

• flavor_t('key') — Returns the translated string
• flavor_te('key') — Echoes the translated string

Translations are stored in the database and can be edited from Flavor Options.

Customizing Translations

1. Go to Appearance → Flavor Options → Translations
2. Find the label you want to change
3. Enter your custom text
4. Click Publish

Common Translation Keys

For Developers

If you're building custom modules or child themes, use the translation functions instead of hardcoding text:

// Good — translatable
echo flavor_t('add_to_cart');

// Bad — hardcoded
echo 'Add to Cart';

See the Developer Documentation for more details on extending the translation system.
