Right, now making the patch last night I'm quite sure I saw other function that have default text parameters localized, so probably it needs to make a patch to strip out the gettext function in these case. Unfortunatly actually lot of themes use a mix of localization, having gettext function in 70% of text, no text domain definition and other text ungettexed. This it's due to the old versione of Kubrick used as a base for lot of themes, used as bases for other themes etc. The choise to have the defaul theme ungettexed to make it simple for users ended as a not so good idea, probably 2.nexr will have some other default themes (one or more), I think this new theme should be come fully I18N to give future theme developper something to work on that it's more similar to what a really good theme should be. The same for plugins. I'm stressing the idea to have a sort of "WP quality ribbon" for theme and plugins, that have to meet some characteristic and one of them it's to be fully I18N so we can have a large base of multilanguage theme nd plugins that will improve non english user expirience. Actually we should start a codex page, where various team can post the them and plugins they internationalized/localized so other team can jump oon them and make theyr locale version. I suppose some theme and plugin have been I18N more than once by different teams, and this is a wase of time and efforts. -- Stefano Aglietti - StallonIt on IRCnet - ICQ#: 2078431 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sites: http://www.40annibuttati.it (personal blog) http://www.wordpress-it.it (WordPress Italia) _______________________________________________ wp-polyglots mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-polyglots
