Hello,

I'm using a artisteer created theme right now and I'm trying to install some language files to some of my plugins. It isn't working even though I'm doing as I'm being told by wordpress support. I have tried to put the files in the plugin directory and in the language directory in the plugin directory. Neither is working. Can it be Artisteer that is the problem?

Hi,
You can find the information about language settings in ReadMe.txt of your theme.

*** Creating localized WordPress Themes with Artisteer
-------------------------------
When exporting themes Artisteer automatically includes several language files
obtained from Wordpress Website at http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Localization
Specifically French, German, Italian and Spanish translations are exported by Artisteer in the Wordpress compliant file naming format:

<country>_<lang>.mo

For example German language file is: de_DE.mo

*** Installing additional language support
-------------------------------
To include a different or additional language support in your Worpdress theme
please find and copy the desired language files into your specific Wordpress theme folder.
You can find the additional language files in your default theme folder "<WordPressFolder>\wp-content\themes\default",
or on the Wordpress Website at http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Localization

To select a different language than your current Wordpress language,
change the "define" function in the wp-config.php file, for example:
define('WPLANG', 'de_DE')


*** Editing translations
-------------------------------
To edit translations for your language please download and install
Codestyling Localization plug-in from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/
Then in WordPress administration select Manage -> Localization.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Gina!

Just to be sure I understand this right, this isn't the same as changing the language for the dashboard? 'Cause I've done that and that is working properly, besides from some things like the Search-button, now it's the language files that is my problem. But this is what I should do?

Hmm, when I read my post I found that it sounded a bit wrong, haha... I mean that I have changed the lagnuage files for the entire site (as in wp-content/language/...) and it's working on the dashboard and some of the stuff in the theme...

I think you need to install the plug-in I have mentioned above for translation of the elements in your menu
