 * I found the solution.
 *     ```
       You cannot use the e() function you need to use the __() function to return the string.
   
       <li<?php
        if (is_single()  && in_category(__('about', 'themeName')) || is_child(123))  {
       { echo ' class="current"';  }?>
       <?php } ?>>
       <a id="nav1" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/<?php _e('about','themeName'); ?>" title="<?php _e('About','themeName'); ?>"><?php _e('About','themeName'); ?></a></li>
       ```

 * hi and thanks for your reply.
    My actual problem is not the highlighting of the
   menu but how to make the term _\_e(“mycat”)_ translatable(localization).
 * I would like to have the category term e.g. _about_ translated depending on the
   language _<?php if (is\_page(‘about’) )_ so in German it looks for the catgory
   name ‘ueber’ by using the _e() function.
    I’m not sure what I’m missing syntax
   error this does not work.
 * _in\_category(‘\_e(“mycat”)’)_
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * how would I go about changing the month to the abbreviated form in this rewrite
   in my archives.
    I’d like to display it like Jan ’09 I just don’t know what I’m
   missing. Help would be really appreciated.
 * J.

 * I’m using WP version 2.6.3 and it is not working. The image shows up but the 
   author description doesn’t. Any ideas? Thanks
