 * Hi,
    Have been searching for something but I can’t seem to do it right or find
   te right way. I’m trying to create a bilingual site. Dutch and English. I installed
   qTranslate which is working fine.
 * Because all the ‘static’ content in the original theme was created in dutch, (
   such as: continue reading/previous post) I installed poedit and took the necessary
   steps to create a translated file: en_GB.po/.mo file which I saved in mythemefolder/
   languages
 * How do I get the languages of te static content to change, and to load the translated.
   mo file when i’m clicking the ‘qtranslate’flags. (the flags work fine and switch
   between dutch/english)
 * Hope some one can help me out!

 * en_GB ? en_US for the default (Pre-Defined) English language.

 * … thank you! It’s that simple… Problem solved.
 * Wasn’t sure qtranslate-x would find these files in the languages folder by itself
   or whether I had to include some code. Might it be an idea to add a little information
   in the faq on how Qtranslatex handles static theme content? It would have been
   nice to read this somewhere. To have it confirmed that I was on the right way.
