# [Plugin: WP_Multilingual] Theme localization does not work as described

 * I have installed this great product and already prepared some posts in two languages.
   The only problem I get is to make the theme get translated when the languages
   switch. Here are my observations:
    – if I copy .mo file into the wp-includes/
   languages folder, nothing happens. This is a place for WP admin localization,
   IMHO; – if I copy .mo file into the wp-content/themes/mytheme folder, it seems
   to be working, but only with an English translation (my default language is set
   to LT); – in any case I am not able to get the language switch back from English
   into original (lt_LT). I believe that everything was done following the short
   instructions on the authors/product page, but maybe anyone has got an idea, what
   could be wrong here with these .mo or .po files? I have tried to combine this
   plugin with another one, to make translation more flexible – codestyling localization.
   But the problem remains the same, I cannot make it switchable, as the theme shows
   only translation which was made in English (not original Lithuanian).

 * Yep, exact version is 2.6.2. What this could mean – should I downgrade the WP
   in order to get it working?
