 * I recently installed a new theme but since I want to be in kurdish I had to change
   the theme from ltr to rtl. I did this and it was partly succesfull. Apart from
   the postcontent area as you can see on the screen ( [http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/9059/screenuuj.png](http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/9059/screenuuj.png))
   I tried to float this to the right but nothing changes. My website is: asinger.
   cz.cc and the css style sheet: [http://asinger.cz.cc/wp-content/themes/manifesto/style.css](http://asinger.cz.cc/wp-content/themes/manifesto/style.css)
 * Thanks for your help guys hope you know any solutions!

 * You need to look at editor-style-rtl.css in Twenty Ten and add a similar CSS 
   file to your theme.

 * this style in style.css of your theme seems to interfere:
 * `ul.posts li {float: left; display: inline; }`
 * try and delete it

 * and do u know how to change some english text for example “about the author” 
   to kurdish? I have installed the kurdish wordpress and most of the things have
   been translated but not all of them? Do you know how to that, I can translate
   them myself

 * Do you know if your theme is translation-ready? Not all themes are, by any means.
   A translation-ready theme should have a .po or .pot file either in the main folder
   of the them or in one of its sub-folders.

 * It does and I have put the kurdish .po in there but some words just depend on
   the theme and don’t wanna change. Can I change them my self somewhere?

 * In that case, it sounds like the theme developer simply missed a few words & 
   phrases from the list of translatable strings. It’s so easy to do (Been There,
   Done That). If you wanted to change them yourself, you’d need to track down which
   template files they occur in and change the text manually.
 * Alternatively, you could try contacting the theme developer and letting him/her
   know about these phrases. They may update the theme and their default .po file–
   which should solve your problem with much less work on your part. As a theme 
   dev, I’d definitely want to know about them. I seem to get so little feedback
   on theme translations.

 * The non-translated words only occur in the manifesto theme (current theme) and
   not any where else. This is because this is the only theme that has got these
   words in there. I have looked at the appearance editor in wordpress and see if
   I could find these words and translate them but I couldn’t. So do you know where
   exactly I have to go to edit them, please?

 * Sorry – no. You need to look through all of the theme’s files.

 * Ok thanks, I think I have translated most of the word now
