Create And Manage Portfolio
===========================
Setting up the portfolio is quite easy and it requires only a few steps to set it up. Of course you need to install the "OT Portfolio Management" plugin in this case ( if you have not done it already ). Within the first step we recommend to create the portfolio categories first. This will make sure everything is right there when you need it. But what are portfolio categories? Let's take a look at the following example. Imagine you are a photographer and you have a wide range of images you like to show to the crowd. Inside your portfolio you have landscape and portrait images, than these both would be exactly your categories. Categories are mainly used for filtering your portfolio items later on.
Add Portfolio Categories
------------------------
In order to add new Portfolio category:
**[1]** Go to `Portfolio > Categories`
**[2]** Enter category name and hit `Enter`
Add Portfolio Project
---------------------
Setup Visual Composer for create portfolio
Now you can start adding your portfolio item. Go to `Portfolio > Add new`. Basically there is not big difference to a regular blog post, all elements like featured image and the WordPress Editor are in the same place.
And these portfolio posts are handeled exactly the same way as blog post, with one exception, you need to set a featured image for all kind of post formats. These images are used inside the portfolio overview.
**[1]** Enter portfolio project name here.
**[2]** Select `backend editor` to add element .
**[3]** Set portfolio categories.
**[4]** Upload portfolio featured image.
**[5]** Click `publish`.
--------------------------
Translation
=========
###Tell WordPress which language file to use.
If you don’t use WordPress in your native language so far, you have to tell WordPress which language to use to activate the theme translation.
You can do this by editing the wp-config.php file (the file is located in the main directory of your WordPress files) and defining the WPLANG constant. You have to set your language code there, for example fr_FR for French translation.
ust add the line below to your wp-config.php or change it if it already exists:
`define ('WPLANG', 'fr_FR');`
###First Method: Using Codestyling Plugin
The easiest way to translate your theme locally is by using the [Codestyling Localization](https://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/) plugin. After you have installed and activated the plugin, simply go to `Tools > Localization` (shown in your language) and translate the theme from your WordPress backend following the [plugin instructions](http://www.code-styling.de/english/development/wordpress-plugin-codestyling-localization-en)
###Second Mothod: Using Poedit
Poedit is a common program which you can use to translate the theme. It’s available for free on [poedit.net](http://www.poedit.net/).
After you have installed Poedit, you can open it and select `File > New Catalog from POT file`. Then select the .pot file from the theme you wish to translate which you can find in the `/languages/` folder of theme.
Then go through every line of text and translate it to your native language. Afterwards you can save the catalog with your language code (for example `en_US.po`). Normally Poedit automatically creates the .mo file and saves it, too.
The last step you have to do is to upload your created language files to the language folder of your theme using FTP.
------------------------------
Child Theme
===========
Fastlat is fully child theme compatible. We have attached a basic child theme to the download package which contains the minimum of required files. If you are planing any code customisations we highly recommend to do this inside the child theme! Learn more about child themes [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
