Using esc_attr function

Question

I want to translate some website to Spanish, and the default translation in 'Settings' doesn't translate everything. I notice in the code, that where the translation doesn't work there are functions like esc_attr or esc_attr_x or ___. I understand that these functions used to translate texts, but I didn't really get how it is done exactly.

Any suggestions?

Remember to have the text domain along with the render functions (echo function). It means that, they should be:

esc_attr_e("Text needing to be translated","your_text_domain");<br>
esc_attr_x("Text needing to be translated","your_text_domain");<br>
___("Text needing to be translated","your_text_domain");
