 * Hi Alessandro,
 * I’m trying to deal with a theme that has a “default” po-mo instead of the usual
   ISO code one. It’s a problem concerning the way they’ve written the theme’s classes.
   
   Ceceppa is writing both en_US and it_IT po-mos in the theme’s translation folder
   but the “default” one is still there. Most probably your script can’t read that.
   Can I copy you translation files in root/languages or the only way out is to 
   keep bugging the theme dev? Thank you!

 * Hi Alessandro,
 * thank you for your reply and for your amazing plugin!
    I apologize for not being
   clear but this issue was driving me crazy. I do have a limited understanding 
   of programming and I can handle plugins (I’ve even written for my personal use
   a simple homepage redirect for WP) in a few CMSes. I was unable to translate 
   properly only SOME part of the template. Categories, posts, menus worked. But
   other small parts won’t. After trying several ways, I’ve been able to solve it
   by deleting obsolete transient options. Which was unexpected but did the trick.
   I don’t know what created this problem though.
 * So now the problem is solved but in case I’ll be able to recreate it I’ll let
   you know. Maybe it could help you in your plugin development…
 * Ciao!
