 * > Where do I get POT file?
 * You have to create it using a tool like Poedit.
 * > Where do I place the file?
 * That’s entirely up to you. commonly it’s in a sub-folder called `languages`. 
   Then you need to reference it within your theme’s functions.php file using something
   like:
 * `load_theme_textdomain( 'my_theme_textdomain', get_template_directory() . '/languages');`
