First you have to allow the po extraction. It's on the conf/_locales.php

$allow_po_extraction = 1;

Then go to the backoffice, and in the options' subtab Regional, click on Extract in the file you want to update.

This should work :)

thank you. I did that. it is still the same, regarding the different responses by skins.

as i see it, what the localization does is search for a know string, and when found, replace it with the translated one.

There are some skins, that use their own strings, so there's no translated string for them.

if you edit the skin files (_main.php, _feedback.php ...) you could manually edit those strings.

that explains a lot. thank you very much. hope skin developers will take this into consideration.

Lucas81, I found this:

in skin/yourskin/_main.php, there is such code lines:

<div class="bPost" lang="<?php $Item->lang() ?>">
<?php locale_temp_switch( $Item->locale );
// Temporarily switch to post locale
$Item->anchor(); // Anchor for permalinks to refer to
?>

Which calls to look for a fold called locale. However, the fold name (in my installation) is actually called locales, not locale. So, you have to change the code line to be locales. change fold name from locales to locale won't work since other files might still call the fold locales.

I found this inconsistency in tictac and wpc_darkfire _main.php files and made the correction. Now they all work with the new language.
that probably explains the skin dependency.

thank you for your attention.

I'm working on a skin and I'm trying to make sure that I use T strings instead of just English. Is there a list somewhere that shows all the strings that are available to me?

Thank you so much kding! I was struggling with the localisation and this was the reason!! Correcting the skin locale - locales solved the problem (I use the skin CLEAN)
