How to translate Vehica theme?

Vehica keeps its wording in several different places. This guide shows where each kind of text lives — theme labels, custom field names, field options, units of measurement and Elementor page content — so you can translate the whole site.

Theme texts

You can translate almost all of the theme's texts in one place — the Translate & Rename screen in the Vehica Panel:

WordPress admin with Vehica Panel > Translate & Rename open. Green arrows point to the Translate & Rename menu item and to the empty "Translate / rename here" boxes next to labels such as Account, Account Details and Active. — The right-hand column holds slugs, which are part of your site's URLs — not the labels visitors read.

Custom field names

You can translate all custom fields here:

Vehica Panel > Custom Fields screen. Green arrows point to the Custom Fields menu item and to the pencil edit icon next to the Condition field, in a list with Name, Type and Slug columns and an "Add new field" box above it.

Field options, e.g. Sedan or Coupe

You can translate all options e.g. Sedan / Coupe this way. Open the matching list under Vehicles:

The WordPress admin sidebar with the Vehicles menu expanded. Green arrows point to Vehicles and to the highlighted Body Type submenu, listed with Condition, Offer Type, Make, Model, Drive Type, Transmission, Fuel Type and Color.

The Body Type screen: an "Add New Body Type" form on the left, and the terms Convertible, Coupe, Hatchback, Sedan, SUV and Wagon on the right. A green arrow points to the Edit / Quick Edit / Delete / View actions under Convertible. — Rename a term with **Edit**; each term also has its own slug.

Units of measurement

You can translate or change units of measurement, e.g. km / miles, in the field settings:

The Custom Fields list in the Vehica Panel with rows for Year, Offer Type, Make, Model, Drive Type, Transmission, Mileage, Engine Size and Cylinders. The Mileage row is framed in green and two arrows point to its EDIT button.

The Mileage field settings (field type Number) with Name, Slug, Required, Decimal places, Text before value and Text after value boxes. A green arrow points to "Text after value", which contains "miles". A SAVE CHANGES button sits below. — The unit is stored as the field's **Text after value**, so changing it there changes it everywhere the field is shown.

Save each screen before you move on

Every screen keeps its own save button — Save all changes on Translate & Rename, Save changes in a field's settings. Changes made on one screen are not saved by another.

Everything else: Elementor pages

All other elements are part of Elementor pages, e.g. the homepage. Open the page and edit it with Elementor:

The Vehica demo homepage on the front end with the WordPress admin bar above it. A green arrow points to "Edit with Elementor". The page shows the "Find Your Perfect Car" hero, All / New / Used tabs and a Make / Model / Max Price search bar.

The same homepage open in the Elementor editor. The heading widget is selected and the "Edit Heading" panel is open on the left; green arrows run from the panel Title box to the "Find Your Perfect Car" headline on the canvas.

Elementor with the "Edit Featured Vehicles" panel open. Green arrows run from the panel Heading 1 box, containing "Handy picked", and Heading 2 box, containing "Featured Cars", to the matching eyebrow and title on the page. — Widget text lives in the widget's own settings, not in Translate & Rename.
