 * Hello.
    i tried to localize Supernova into Japanese. but i could not.
 * So, i asked other peple why i can not.
    he said that [SUPERNOVA_ROOT] in [load_theme_textdomain(‘
   Supernova’, SUPERNOVA_ROOT.’/languages/’ );] of [functions.php] is maybe not 
   definede，so [/languages/] isnt read.
 * and he said if you localize it, [SUPERNOVA_ROOT] changes [dirname(__FILE__)] 
   maybe it works. but if theme updates, you have to try again.
 * is it right? please check it.
    Thanks!
 * So,sorry many isuue i have.

 * Well SUPERNOVA_ROOT is defined in core/supernova.php file. You can echo it and
   it will show the path, however I think you are somewhat right, do me a favor ,
   replace SUPERNOVA_ROOT with SUPERNOVA_DIR, and let me know if that works.

 * Hellow!
 * I can use ja.po/mo files with [SUPERNOVA_DIR.]
    But,if i use about 80% localized
   ja.po/mo files, partly display is incollect. so, i will try to localize step 
   by step. Thanks!
