# French language support?

 * For the free version of the theme, does anyone know if there is a
    fr_FR.po and
   fr_FR.mo file available with French language translations for this theme ?
 * For example, something like:
    msgid “Leave a Comment” msgstr “Laissez un commentaire”
 * for all the messages in catch-kathmandu/languages/catchkathmandu.pot

 * [@bwooster47](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bwooster47/): Sorry we don’t
   have fr_FR.po and fr_FR.mo in Catch Kathmandu Theme. If you or anyone else interested
   in translating then you can contact us at [http://catchthemes.com/contact-us/](http://catchthemes.com/contact-us/)

 * There is no email address at the provided page.
    In any case, I cobbled up a 
   simple fr_FR.po file and using POEdit to create the .mo file. I have a child 
   theme, but it seems to not work even though I’m calling this:
 *     ```
       function my_child_theme_setup() { load_child_theme_textdomain( 'catchkathmandu-child', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' ); }
       add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_child_theme_setup' );
       ```
   
 * But – it does work if I copy the fr_FR.po and fr_FR.mo files into the `catch-
   kathmandu/languages` folder.
 * If anyone wants this language file, which has translations for end user (but 
   not for admin pages), I can send it over in email.
    Here’s diff output, which
   you can also apply as patch:
 *     ```
