 * Hello there,
    after searching the forum for related topics of my problem, I haven’t
   found a solution, so I’m starting a new topic.
 * I installed WordPress, got the german language package and installed the theme“
   coraline”, which is NOT translation ready. However, other themes, which are translation
   ready, show the same problem, which is following:
 * Most of the page is already translated into german, however, there are different
   sections (especially in articles) in which still english text appears. As I already
   installed the language pack, I think I need to go deeper into the code to change
   those specific locations.
 * Where can I find the representing text passages of articles to change them? I
   imagine I cannot just switch the language, but have to insert specific german
   phrases. As there is no “articles.php” in the Theme directory, I just don’t know
   where to look. Maybe someone can help me out here.
 * As example, visit [http://www.bsv-egg-leo.de](http://www.bsv-egg-leo.de) and 
   look at the latest article. There are passages saying (quote):”filed under …”
   and “posted in…” which need to be (german translation):”archiviert in…” and “
   veröffentlich in”. Also there is a button saying “leave a comment” which should
   be saying “Hinterlasse einen Kommentar” (for this, I think I need to replace 
   that button with another graphic).
 * I hope someone can help me.
 * Cheers

 * Filed Under and Posted in, those are generated from within the theme itself.
 * If the theme you are using is not translatable the next thing to do is basically
   open up each of the theme’s files and translate them yourself.
 * However, since I know your theme *does* use translation files, you will notice
   that there is a ‘language’ directory under the coraline theme directory.
 * /wp-content/themes/coraline/language
 * Inside there is a translation coraline.pot file which you can use to create another
   translation.
 * I use poedit to do mine:
