 * I have another small (and I’m sure stupid) question.
 * How do I localize the theme?
 * I’ve look at the files, Caroline included a readme.txt:
 * >  Place your theme language files in this directory.
   > Please visit the following links to learn more about translating WordPress

   > 
   > [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/load_theme_textdomain](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/load_theme_textdomain)
 * But that doesn’t really answer the question. Do I need to parse all the PHP code
   to find the string I need to call on?

 * The .mo./.po was just in the sibling languages directory. Nevermind, my bad!
