 * I try to translate it by scaning the code with Poedit but your code is really…
   i just don’t know how to say it.
 * Add this: `load_theme_textdomain('mytheme', get_template_directory() . '/languages');`
   to your functions.php and use WordPress functions _“\_e($text\_message)”_ or _“\_\_(
   $text\_message)”_ instead of _“the\_content( ‘Read more’ );”_ and i’ll try to
   generate the english .po file for you and do a spanish translation for your theme
   all for free. I am really interested in this theme because it is really nice 
   but just english? Bro WordPress is global, at least make it translation-ready.
   I really want to help, i hope you let me do it 🙂

 * Odarma,
 * Thanks for the offer to help translate!
 * We will be internationalizing Tracks soon, but not quite yet. I’ve learned in
   the past that internationalizing too soon leads to incomplete translations and
   general confusion amongst users.
 * I will bump it in the roadmap now, so we can get to it sooner.
