 * Hi,
 * We are using Ecohost theme ([http://cmsbased.net/whmcs-wordpress-templates/ecohost/](http://cmsbased.net/whmcs-wordpress-templates/ecohost/))
 * We need a 2 language website (Serbian primary, English secondary)
    I added both,
   in Settings/Languages, in the correct order, that part works correctly.
 * The problem is that your plugin gives us option to translate only 4 strings (
   Site Title, Tagline, Date Format, Time Format) and nothing else. There is no 
   option to translate the theme strings etc.
 * I asked theme support and they said:
    “The template does not require any special
   setup for multi language. It is using WordPress standard coding and will translate
   without any problems. You can just configure the module and start translating
   content pages and menus.”
 * In main theme folder subfolder “Languages” I located 2 files:
    1) xx_XX.pot (
   which appears to be empty) 2) readme.txt
 * readme.txt says: “Place your theme language files in this directory.
 * Please visit the following links to learn more about translating WordPress themes:

 * Do you have any instructions and tips, what should we do?
 * Please reply as soon as possible.
 * Thanks in advance,

 * Hi!
 * Please have a look to the plugin “Codestyling localization” to help you translate
   your theme.
