   I'm making a child theme and I was wondering if I created the language file correctly. I took the parent theme's .po and I merged it with the .po file of the child theme so it looks something like this:

   #: parent/index.php:161
   msgid "Read more"
   msgstr ""
   
   #: child/header.php:73
   msgid "Welcome!"
   msgstr ""

   I placed the new .po file in my child themes languages folder. This is code that is in the parent theme to load the language file:

   // Make theme available for translation
   	// Translations can be filed in the /languages/ directory
   	load_theme_textdomain(PW_THEME_FILE, TEMPLATEPATH . '/languages');
   
   	$locale = get_locale();
   	$locale_file = TEMPLATEPATH . "/languages/$locale.php";
   	if ( is_readable( $locale_file ) )
   		require_once( $locale_file );

   Should I copy that code into the child theme's functions.php file or do I need to use the load_child_theme_textdomain() function?

   Any help would be appreciated.
