   i place them exactily (full path) and what files should change so the theme takes

 * it seems to work when you rename and place them here:
    /wp-content/languages/
   themes/gravit-es_ES.po /wp-content/languages/themes/gravit-es_ES.mo
 * Is the .pot file complete? i don´t find any “Tags:” to translate in it
    and there
   is some untranslated output wich i believe comes from this file /wp-content/themes/
   gravit/content-single.php:
 *     ```
       23  		// This blog only has 1 category so we just need to worry about tags in the meta text
          24  		if ( '' != $tag_list ) {
          25: 			$meta_text = __( 'Tags: <span class="sep">%2$s</span>', 'gravit' );
          26  		} else {
          27  			$meta_text = __( '', 'gravit' );
       ```

 * Thanks for pointing that out! That’s going on my list for further updates.
    If
   it helps: at the moment, I’m aware of one additional file that also produces 
   untranslated output: template-tags.php line 193: “leave a reply”
