    Hello.

    First of all, congratulations for this excellent theme, I'm now building a site (related URL above) for a client and they're very happy with it.

    Now we want to translate the entire theme to Spanish (I'll get back to you when it's complete) but in order to do so, I'd like to have the POT file from the theme as outlined in this article:

    Generating POT file

    It appears that this is a file usually included with the theme but I can't find it in Waxom. We have the .PO and .MO files. Can you please send it to me?

    Thanks very much in advance.

    Kind regards.

    Hi gaby-mg,

    Glad you like the theme!

    The .po and .mo files are found within the theme folder itself:

    waxom\lang\en_US.mo

    waxom\lang\en_US.po

    Hope that answers your question?


    Kind regards,
    Joanna

    Hi, Joanna.

    I am asking for the .POT file, not the .PO and .MO files. Thanks very much in advance.

    Regards

    Hi gaby-mg,

    Ah I understand now

    Those two files are the only language files we offer as they are the most common, and often used with translation plugins such a qTranslate or WPML.

    To add in a .pot file you would need to add it in yourself via the Child Theme or via your own custom plugin.


    Kind regards,

    Hi, Joanna.

    Thanks for your reply. But according to the official documentation linked below:

    "It is a good idea to offer the POT file along with your theme, so that translators won’t have to ask you specifically for it."

    Also, I know it would be possible for me to generate that file, but if you read the aforementioned document, you'll see that it's simpler for the theme developer to do so. Anyway, if you're not able or willing to do so, I'll of course do it myself.

    Regards.
