 * Hey everyone,
 * In a simple way, how could I translate some text strings contained in some of
   my theme templates?
    I’m using the WPML plugin in its basic version. Let’s say…
   A string which holds “Welcome” in one template. How can I make it get “Bienvenue”
   when switching to “french” in the language selector?
 * I’m consulting some of the Codex but I just don’t seem to get it.
 * Thank you very much
