# Translation Preparation 

By default, the Sequoia theme comes in English only. Though it's absolutely possible to translate this to another language, of course! For this, we recommend using the free plugin called [**“Loco Translate**”](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/).

## Steps to translating the theme with Loco Translate

1. First, navigate to **WP Dashboard > Settings > General >** and change your **“Site Language”** to the language you'll be translating your theme into.
2. Install and activate the [**“Loco Translate”**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/) plugin.

   * To install the plugin, go to Dashboard and find the **Plugins** section from the left menu and choose **Add New.**

3\.  On the opened page, you need to search for **Loco Translate**, install, and activate it.
