*** Creating localized WordPress Themes with Artisteer
-------------------------------
When exporting themes Artisteer automatically includes several language files
obtained from Wordpress Website at http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Localization
Specifically French, German, Italian and Spanish translations are exported by Artisteer in the Wordpress compliant file naming format:

<country>_<lang>.mo

For example German language file is: de_DE.mo

*** Installing additional language support
-------------------------------
To include a different or additional language support in your Worpdress theme
please find and copy the desired language files into your specific Wordpress theme folder.
You can find the additional language files in your default theme folder "<WordPressFolder>\wp-content\themes\default",
or on the Wordpress Website at http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Localization

To select a different language than your current Wordpress language,
change the "define" function in the wp-config.php file, for example:
define('WPLANG', 'de_DE')


*** Editing translations
-------------------------------
To edit translations for your language please download and install
Codestyling Localization plug-in from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/
Then in WordPress administration select Manage -> Localization.
