 * Localization gives the following message:
 * > Compatibility: Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_theme_textdomain
   > or load_child_theme_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress,
   > because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact 
   > the Author about that.
 * It is also impossible to translate the theme using Localization.
    Added a new
   language (set in wpconfig and works fine with other themes) scanned the code,
   entered translations but nothing.

 * If you are talking about [this plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/)
   there is a long history behind it. There is nothing wrong with the theme.
 * I’d suggest you translate files using [Poedit](http://www.poedit.net/).

 * ‘sudo apt-get install poedit’ and updating the translation.
 * BTW, I used the xx_XX naming for the translation files. This was probably another
   reason, it did not work before. Maybe.

 * File name should be path-xx_XX.po and path-xx_XX.mo.

 * You are absolutely correct.
    Poedit translations work fine. Kiitos 😉
