 * Hello,
 * When I view a category page the posts display correctly with the exception that
   this error is displayed above everything:
 * Missing argument 1 for __() in D:\wp-includes\l10n.php on line 96
 * Line 96 contains: function __( $text, $domain = ‘default’ ) {
    return translate(
   $text, $domain ); }
 * which relates to translation. I have no translation plugins installed and the
   problem persists with all current plugins disabled. Any idea on how to get rid
   of this message?
 * Your help is much appreciated.

 * The translation can be performed by any plugins or themes, not just the ‘translation’
   plugin. One of the plugin may break the function call.
 * Try to disable plugin one by one to know the one particular plugin causing the
   error.

 * Tried disabling them one by one and then all at a time and the problem remains.
   Are there any other functions besides plugins that could be involved?

 * I am using the Thematic framework with a child theme. Perhaps that makes a difference?
