Hello folks,

I’m using expound for a german website and I want to remove the arrows on some buttons etc. because they’re showing up as &arr; instead of an actual arrow.

How do I change the language file “de_DE.po”?

How can I get the new language file into my child theme?

Sorry if the questions is too basic!

Cheers!

Couldn’t you just change the &arr; in your child theme?
What theme are you using?

To translate themes I use this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/
It can scan your theme for all translatable strings and create po and .mo files.

To load the language files in your child theme you have to use this:

I’m using the expound theme.

Somehow the plugin didn’t work for me. I downloaded the free programm POedit and uploaded the files to my child theme.

Thank You very much for your help!
