WordPress is available in languages other than English for people belonging to other locales. In order to change the default language of your WordPress instalaltion you got to define the language within the wp-config.php file or change a setting within the dashboard
The process is different for different wordpress verisons
You can see wordpress localization documentation for more details.
Using Language files
iEvent Theme is easily compatible for creating a multilingual website. The translation language files can be created and be stored inside the theme folder
wp-content/iEvents/languages
Though this is a popular method , the disadvantage of this is when the theme file are updated then the whole Theme folder and Plugin Folder are replaced with a new and updated folder, which in turn overwrites their translation files.
If you choose to store your language files using this method, remember that the file structure is only the language name. For example, if the language files are in the Arabic language, the file names would be ar_AR.mo and ar_AR.po.
We can use the default po files using a translation editor like POEdit and easily translate.
Using WPML plugin for translations
iEvent theme is wpml compatible. WPML can be downloaded on purchase from here
