WordPress Thesis Theme is shipped in English language only, but it provides also the strings to translate in a file in PO (GNU Gettext Portable Object) format.
\nThe file is thesis.po<\/code> and is located in the directory wp-content\/themes\/thesis<\/code> of your WordPress installation. The file thesis.mo<\/code> that you\u2019ll find in the same directory is the same file but in the machine readable format.
\nTo translate the Thesis\u2019s strings in your own language follow these simple steps :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. set your preferred language in the file wp-config.php<\/code> : for Italian, for example, define ('WPLANG', 'it_IT');<\/code>
    \nSee these instructions WordPress in Your Language<\/a> for a complete guide.<\/li>\n
  2. rename the thesis.po<\/code> file using your language code (ex for Italian language in will be : it_IT.po<\/code>)<\/li>\n
  3. open the file with the text editor of your choice and translate the strings filling the msgstr<\/code> value<\/li>\n
  4. using the command-line utility msgfmt<\/code> to create the machine readable file : msgfmt -o it_IT.mo it_IT.po<\/code><\/li>\n
  5. copy the files it_IT.po<\/code>, it_IT.mo<\/code> into the wp-content\/themes\/thesis<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
  6. In thesis 1.8 or later copy the files it_IT.po<\/code>, it_IT.mo<\/code> into the wp-content\/themes\/thesis_18\/lib\/languages<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
  7. There may be missing strings, so add them to the .po file with Dreamweaver or notepad and generate the .mo file with poedit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
