How to use an Internationalized theme for WordPress?
As you know, the latest version of MistyLook Theme for WordPress is fully internationalized. It means people can use it for their own sites in their language, without editing the theme files.
Right now, I have 3 people submitting their translations [.mo files] for the MistyLook theme.
1.German Translation File by Ulli.
2. Dutch Translation File Jozef Schildermans.
3. Russian Translation File by Elf.
You can download these files from the theme page, but how do you use them?
1. Set your language in WordPress Configuration.
To do this, you have to open wp-config.php file in your WordPress installation’s root folder.
Here you will be looking for a setting called wp_lang.
define ('WPLANG', '');
and to change the settings to German for example, change it to
define ('WPLANG', 'de_DE');
2. Download the respective language file from our theme page, and put that file [de_DE.mo for german for example] in the theme folder.
You think there are more steps? no. thats it. Go ahead and view your site.

The original English file is the MistyLook.pot file that is packaged with the theme itself. You can download it from http://wpthemes.info/misty-look/
