 * Hi, I like Ever After theme and I’d like to translate it to my language. I tried
   with the .pot file, but it only contains 4-5 items. How can I translate other
   items (eg. Leave a reply, Recent Comments, Logged in as, etc.)?
 * I don’t know whether that matters but I use Latin Extended charset.
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Regards

 * Since Ever After is a child theme of Forever, could you take a look at the .pot
   in Forever? You may need to do the translations there as well so they take effect
   in Ever After.
 * Let me know how it goes.

 * Hi,
    thank you for your advice, I’ve translated Forever’s .pot. Unfortunately
   it doesn’t contain a lot other element (those I mentioned in my earlier post).
   Can you please help me, how can I involve the missing phrases in the pot file?
   Or should I change them elswhere?
 * Thank you!

 * I think those text strings might be being generated through WordPess core, instead
   of within either theme, because I searched for those three phrases you mentioned
   above in both Forever and Ever After, but didn’t find them.
 * Have you set up your WordPress installation in your language yet?

 * There are some resources for Hungarian here:

 * Let me know if this helps get things fully in Hungarian for you.
