Theme Localization and Translation Batch1
I have received countless requests to localize my themes, and for the past few weeks we have been doing just that. As of today 13 themes have been localized, including: Glow, eNews, Bold, ePhoto, eBusiness, CherryTruffle, PureType, Basic, ColdStone, LightSource, eGamer, eVid and Cion. You will notice that each theme not only comes with the PO file for the English translation, but also includes pre-made PO/MO files for German and Russian as well. I hope to add many more languages in the future.
Now that the themes are localized, it will be much easier to translate them. The English PO file can be opened in a program like poedit, translated, and then re-saved. This is much less time consuming than having to dig through the theme files and search for English words in need of translation.
If anyone creates PO/MO files for their language and wants to share them with the community, just send them to me in an email and I will include them in the theme package. I am sure others will appreciate it! Even though only 13 themes have been localized so far, the rest are soon to come.
Theme Sneak Peek
On a side note, if you don’t follow me on twitter you probably missed my latest theme sneak peek. The design is called Lumin and will be a portfolio theme. Let me know what you think!

Nice step for perfection
It’s fantastic
Altinkum turkish tekel?

This is great news, localizing Elegant themes is another step toward more success!
I love the Lumin theme, maybe I can use it on my personal blog when it arrive to this life, I need to change my modes
Your themes look really beautiful! And the localisation is a cool feature… have you considered porting your themes to other cms like Drupal?
Perhaps someday in the future, but at the moment I don’t have any plans for porting my themes to other CMS’s.
Great design on the new theme! I’m very much looking forward to seeing it and using it! Localization is a huge step!
The Hungarian language is ready…
eBusiness theme translated. The other theme is the translation will work? Or work?
Thanks for the help, I have added the Hungarian translation to eBusiness
Any idea when Lumin may be available for download? I’d like to use it on a current project.
It should be ready within 1-2 weeks.
Lumin Theme looking absolutely awesome! I would love to see a “White” Minimalistic version of this theme.
Yes, thanks, localisation it is very necessary, after all almost 300 million population of a planet speaks Russian, it costs on 4 place in the world on prevalence.
Да, спасибо, локализация очень нужна, ведь почти 300 млн населения планеты говорит по русски, он стоит на 4 месте в мире по распространенности.
Great for localizations, maybe it’s a great idea to ask your friends, followers, subscribers to help you translating these themes in different languages..
sorry.. my site url is wpcrowd.com not wpsmash.com LOL
are there RTL versions for the templates??
No, not at the moment, sorry. The themes only come in LTR.
French translation for ePhoto is ready! I’ll maybe translate all the other themes when I’ll have some spare time.
Regards.
Thanks for the help
Wow, that looks awesome! I always look forward to seeing what you are working on.
Great theme. Any more video sharing themes?
I like the look of the new theme looks ideal for my next project. By the way are still planning a ecomerce theme if so, when will it be raedy ?
Jacko
eStore is still in the workds, but it is still a ways away. I want to make sure I do it right, so I am taking my time with it. I have other great themes on the way in the meantime.
are you ever going to make templates for joomla!? and how do you remove date/time/author stamp?
dude you rock
I love your templates … Love! but I’m worried about how they will be treated once Google Caffeine comes out at the beginning of the year! Google wants to speed up the web and your templates (like most blog templates) run slow. Have you thought of ways to speed up your templates? Thanks
I am not sure where you heard that google will base its results, at all, on a website’s file size. I don’t believe this is true, after reading about google’s upcoming serp update.
Yes, I agree as well! Your themes are based on heavy image work, and that’s what makes them slow.
And yes, he is right, because Matt Cutt mentioned on his blog that in coming months, google’s ranking factor will include the website’s page load speed.
Suggestion: It would be great if you release some minimalistic themes like thesis themes which can be customized.
Great job in localizing the themes
I have just send in the Greek translation file
Can’t wait for Lumin theme
poy re file to esteiles na to katebasw giati me to english den bgazw akri
Just downloaded Cion and I cant find the mo or pot file. It is a separate download?
They are in the /lang folder.
For Cion there is no damn lang directory, really. Can you please double check that, please?
Sorry, it should be there now.
Yeap, now it is. Thank you very much and sorry for me being rude.

what is your email? i have PO and MO in Spanish for Lumin
Could you update the changelog info in the download area ? It’s currently impossible to know whether you have the latest version, or if a translation in a given language is available. Thanks.

I’ve read the link above, and still can’t localize the theme. I wonder if the themes are ready for localization.
I’ve just translated Glow to Vietnamese, but don’t know your email

Thank you Nick for your great work.
If it be able to translate FAQ and Support-Sites for Members and Developers, in German, we would be verry happy.
