 * Hi,
 * First of all – thank you for a fantastic theme. Very good looking and easy to
   work with.
    I’m building a site in Danish. Therefore it would be nice to have
   the term “read the post” in local language. How can I get this?

 * You’re welcome, thanks for the kind words!
 * The process is a bit involved, but here’s how it’s done:
 * You’ll need to download a free translation program like Poedit. Then, use it 
   to create a new translation from the “tracks.pot” file. The “tracks.pot” file
   can be located in the Tracks theme folder under /languages/.
 * You’ll be given an interface for translating strings of text found in the theme.
   Translate however much you’d like. When you you’re done, the program will automatically
   create two files:
 * da-DK.po
    da-DK.mo
 * Once you have those files, you could add them to the /languages/ folder in Tracks
   on your server and they would take effect. However, they will be deleted every
   time you update Tracks.
 * Instead, if you email me the translation files at [support@competethemes.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-read-the-post/support@competethemes.com?output_format=md),
   I will include them in the theme so you won’t have to keep re-uploading them,
   and others will be able to benefit from your work as well.
 * _WordPress has [a guide](http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress) about
   translating you may find useful as well._

 * Thanks!
 * Actually – I did all the translating, but Poedit only saves a .po file not a .
   mo (even though it is set in preferences). I tried to upload the .po but apparently
   that is not enough.
 * Any tips?

 * In Poedit, if you open your preferences, you should see an “Editor” set of options.
 * If you check off the top box (“Automatically compile .mo file on save”) it should
   then auto-generate the .mo file for you.

 * First of all thanks for this amazing theme, it’s really easy to use and to adapt
   to your needs.
 * Having said that, I have a problem with what you just explained, I’ve made my
   translations to catalan and spanish but only the catalan one is working, do you
   know why would this happen? I’m using the plugin Polylang to manage multiple 
   languages in my website. (You can see the spanish one not working in this url:
   [http://www.les3flors.cat/blog-2/](http://www.les3flors.cat/blog-2/) , and the
   catalan one working in here: [http://www.les3flors.cat/blog/](http://www.les3flors.cat/blog/))
 * Thank you in advance

 * Most likely, the issue is with the Spanish filenames. Poedit gives you a wide
   variety of dialects, but I believe the only one officially supported by WordPress
   is es_ES.
 * Make sure the Spanish translation files are named es_ES.po and es_ES.mo.

 * That was it! I had it named just _es_. Thank you!
