Theme Translation
Car Dealer is a multi-language theme so that it can translate the site into one or multiple languages. When using the theme (and bundled plugins), the texts on the site come from different sources, like text strings in the code, Settings (like Attributes, etc.), Widgets, Theme Options, WPBakery shortcodes, and Elementor Widgets. So, there are various options to translate.
