Now that you made your theme translatable, let’s do the necessary to translate it.
For that you will have to use a translation software, in this guide we’ll use POEdit, so go ahead and download then install it.
I had really a hard time figuring out how to internationalize a Wordpress theme for a “multilingual” site I’m working on & then to “localize” it. All that because the guides I read are made by geeks, & geeks never explain things properly… seriously!
OK, two things I learned today totally unrelated:
How to make Wordpress multilingual, I need that for a new project that’s planned to be in three langauges, Arabic, English & French, it’s a Plug-in named Language Switcher: (more…)
Only one post this month & this is the second, it’s not a lake of ideas or that I’m learning nothing, I just had no time, too busy with other stuff, even now I should be … sleeping after a long day of work …
I spent a big part of today searching, browsing, downloading, modifying & uploading smileys to a forum.
I noticed there was some interest for the posts I made about me working on Arabic WP, & the theme I modified, so I decided to make it a bit fancier & upload it for anyone who would need it, I even created a demo blog just for it, who knows I may like translating / modifying themes & make more 
Wordpress let you customize your Blog URLs as you wish, & make them more SEO friendly, especially if you include posts names in them, that would improve your rankings in search results.
Already talked about me installing Arabic version of WP … Next I had to customize the site with some theme, so I got a nice theme from Themes.Wordpress.net & had first to change text orientation, which was a rather easy task using CSS, & then rested to translate the English titles, warnings, captions, etc to Arabic.
Yesterday I installed Arabic Version of WordPress for a friend, I’ve got some SQL errors first due to weird codes in the wp-config.php file, I’ve modified it just as I used to do with English installation, but got some weird errors, I suppose it’s because there are explanations written in Arabic in it, I didn’t try to remove them, instead I just replaced the file with wp-config.php of a English package & it worked.
I was logged i my Google Webmaster Tools account & noticed that linked question: How can I improve my site’s ranking?, I followed the link & was rather surprised by the answer even if somehow I already knew it:
I managed to do that today with one of my Blogger.com blogs that was hosted in my server using the FTP publishing option in Blogger.
