# Translations Update

## Update Companion Theme Translate File

We are improving the **Companion** theme in every update with new features and options. Some of them display on the front end of the website. Therefore, it needs to update the language and translation files to translate the new strings in the theme.

The first thing to do is to update the main language file, where all the theme strings are stored. Go to the **Dashboard > Loco Translate > Themes > Companion** and choose **Edit template.**

This is NOT a translation file. Manual editing of source strings is not recommended.

Click on the **Sync** button to merge new strings from the source code to the main language file.

Click on the **Save** button to save the new strings.
