 * Hi,
 * From version 4.6 the proper location is to put the po/mo file in wp-content >
   languages > themes. You should name them: simplyblack-fr_FR
 * It seems you’ve also translated it on this website, thanks! Now we have to wait
   until a French translation editor approves the strings. When this is done, the
   po/mo file become available and you will be notified via the update page in your
   wp-dashboard.
 * But this approval can take a while… So untill then you can upload them to your
   site.
 * Guido
