Theme Translation

Goblin supports Ghost i18n and comes with English translation. You can easily translate it to your desired language.

To use another available language than English, go to Admin > General > PUBLICATION INFO > Publication Language and enter the Language Code Reference.

Lets add a language that is not included in the theme. In this case we take German language as an example.. to do that go to your theme folder & look for locales folder
Then duplicate the en.json tode.json as de is the German language code & replace the texts with your German Texts..
