 So if we want to build a theme that can be translated , we will put the content in English and wrap a tag that will allow us to translate it later in the desired language.

Here is the PHP code to wrap the HTML you want to translate:


1
<?php _e('English HTML content','theme-text-domain');?>
Ex:


1
<div id="booking"><?php echo _e('<a href="#">My Links</a>','theme-text-domain');?></div>
theme-text-domain must be changed to the name of your theme, you can find the name of the template in your style.css sheet
