FAQ

Questions, answered

What counts as one translation?

One free theme translated to 100% into one language, with you approved as the Project Translation Editor (PTE) for that theme and language.

Can I earn more than one license?

Yes. Every completed translation earns one lifetime license — translate two themes, or one theme into two languages, and choose two premium themes.

What do I get exactly?

A lifetime license for any premium UnitedThemes theme you choose, delivered to your account so you can download it and receive updates.

The language I want is already complete — now what?

Pick another theme or another language. Translations need to be completed by you to qualify.

How do I become a PTE?

Post a PTE request on the WordPress Polyglots site (see the handbook link above). Tell us when you do — as theme authors we can confirm your request.

How long does verification take?

Usually a few business days. We check the progress on translate.wordpress.org and your PTE status, then send the license by email.

Finished a translation?

Send us the theme, language and your WordPress.org username — we’ll verify it and send your lifetime license.
