(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-10-19)

I can see in the CP (craft 3) that my **sections** have a 'translatable' icon but I don't find anywhere in the UI to translate section names.

[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/J9ZtY.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/J9ZtY.png)

What's the best way to translate these?

**Tags:** localization, sections, craft3

You must follow this example but keeping in mind the translations folder changed its location and structure from Craft 2 to Craft 3. 
You have to place it right under your project directory:
yourProject
|--templates
|--translations/
|---en/
|-----site.php
|---es/
|-----site.php
|--vendor
