# How to translate a theme after adding a new default language

After adding the **Milano theme** and changing the default language to the new language, but the theme is still not automatically translated, you can follow these steps.

**Step 1:** Install the [Translate & Adapt](https://apps.shopify.com/translate-and-adapt) app by Shopify

**Step 2: Settings** -> **Languages** -> Change **Default** -> Change any default language
