 * Is your theme translation-ready? Does it have a Portuguese translation file as
   well?

 * Hello esmi … thanks for your reply. Yes, my theme is translation-ready … but 
   that’s not all, ok? The admin area is in English … even though my theme was not
   translated this would not affect my panel … the problem is not the theme, wordpress
   is in English .. and I do not know why ..
