 * Hi,
 * Are there any german language files available?
 * If not, what is best practice for switching english words and phrases (eg. “Search
   Results for:”) to another language?
 * Best regards and thx in advance,
    Markus

 * i created a better-search-de_DE.mo and uploaded it to the language folder, but
   it didnt work 🙁
 * Within the better-search-de_DE.po file I substituted “Language: en_US\n” with“
   Language: de_DE\n”

 * Assume you got this working? You’ll typically need to save the .po or .pot file
   into it’s own .po and .mo files for the language. You should not save this in
   the top-10 folder but in wp-content/languages
