You can change your site's main language via Settings -> General -> Site Language
It’s easy to localize your site using plugin. Here you can see the related tutorial – https://localise.biz/help/wordpress/translate-plugin/beginners.
Another way is to add your translations via creating your own .po files. Before adding translations for static strings, it needs to rename language files correctly according to your site languages. Theme language files are located in a ../wp-content/themes/theme-folder/languages/folder. You can find a list of language codes here . As an example, the language code for English is en_EN, so you would save the translated files as en_EN.po first, then en_EN.mo.
There are several ways to fill up translations. One of them is using platform. You can add translation via editing your .po file and at the end PoEdit generates .mo file for you. Then you need to upload ready translation files to primordial folder (../wp-content/themes/theme-folder/languages/).
Motors theme includes ready translation files for 6 languages: Arabic, Germany, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.
