 * Hi all,
    I’ve mounted the Platform theme on the website on which I’m working.
   I’ve already added the translation in Italian of WordPress but now I need to 
   translate the theme. I saw the files platform.mo and platform.po in the language
   dir of the theme folder, but I don’t know how to use it.
 * This is the start of the .po file:
 * >  msgid “”
   >  msgstr “” “Project-Id-Version: Platform\n” “Report-Msgid-Bugs-To:\
   > n” “POT-Creation-Date: 2010-09-16 12:12-0800\n” “PO-Revision-Date: 2010-09-
   > 16 12:14-0800\n” “Last-Translator: Adam <cadammunns@gmail.com>\n” “Language-
   > Team: PageLines <hello@pagelines.com>\n” “MIME-Version: 1.0\n” “Content-Type:
   > text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n” “Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n” “X-Poedit-
   > KeywordsList: _;gettext;gettext_noop;__;_e;_n\n” “X-Poedit-Basepath: .\n” “
   > X-Poedit-Language: English\n” “X-Poedit-Country: UNITED STATES\n” “X-Poedit-
   > SearchPath-0: .\n”
   > #: comments.php:12
   >  msgid “This post is password protected. Enter the password
   > to view any comments.” msgstr “”
   > #: comments.php:25
   >  #, php-format msgid “One Response to %2$s” msgstr “”
 * I know that I have to fill the fields msgstr with the translation, but:
    – do
   I have to rename the file? – how to generate the relative .mo file? – nothing
   else to do?
 * Thanks to anyone that replies

 * I’ve also modified the po and mo file with the poedit application, changing with
   this program the Language and Country records, without results.
