Where are the language files?

Hello,
This is probably a stupid question, but I am fairly new to Wordpress. I found this well-made theme but I can't get the Swedish localization to work. After theme installation, I only find the file generatepress.pot in the theme's language folder and nothing at all in the wordpress language folder (where you have all the twenty-xxx po and mo files).
I use Loco Translate to adapt some expressions, and this extension also informs me that there's no language and the template file is generatepress.pot.
As far as I know, there's a Swedish translation. So what do I do wrong? Any help in this matter is much appreciated.

Hi there,

All translations are now supplied through WordPress.org.

You can find the Swedish translation here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/generatepress

It's currently at 60%, once we can get it to 100% it will become available on your website.

If you'd like to contribute some translations, then I can request that you become an editor so you can approve those translations to speed up the process.

Let me know :)

Hi Tom, I am also waiting for the swedish translation. I have made a lot of translation on the Wordpress site, but no one is approve anything. Can you make me a editor for the swedish translation.
My username is: lars-eriksson.

Thanks! I just made the request. Hopefully they answer soon :)

Should be good to go :)

Thanks for your answers.
I was in a hurry so I made my own translation of the theme into Swedish, and uploaded the po and mo files to a child theme of GeneratePress.
Since I am new to Wordpress, I am not certain about the use of specific expressions and therefor some of the translation might sound odd to the Wordpress Community.

I think my point is that it's not working. There is a problem. If you change the WP language to a language that GeneratePress does have a translation for, its not working. Just for the theme, not the add ons.

See here I changed the wordpress language to German, but anything having to do with the theme is not translating. There must be a problem with how wordpress links up the translations to generate press, the theme not the add ons. Please see for yourself

Wow this is very strange. I'll test it on a fresh install right now. As you can see in my example, mine doesn't look like that at all.

I'll report back in a few minutes.

You might have to update your translations in "Dashboard > Updates" at the very bottom.

Tom, sorry to have taken up your time. You are indeed right.

I am about to create a video on translating, and I only read english unfortunately. So when I didn't see a prompt for any updates, and the other plugins I had pulled in the translation fine, I though it was GP, which of course it was not :)

So can anyone contribute to the translations for GP? I have been talking about GP a lot, and many people want to help translate it.
