I am drafting a new website for some friends using Wordpress, and for theme I chose Piano Black by mono-lab. The site is Norwegian and thus I had to translate the theme language pack. I followed Urban Giraffe’s Translating WordPress Plugins & Themes-guide and ended up in a flaming red fight with poEdit to get the program to read the theme language files correctly. Thanks in part to Gettin’ Geek’s post I finally worked out that in the path-tab in the New Catalogue-dialog you have to give the basepath to the theme (in my case “C:\Users\<myusername>\Documents\piano-black”) as the base path, then add the “languages” path AND the “.” path to the list of paths. Hope this can be of assistance to other batteling the same issue.

Anwyay, if you want to get my Norwegian Bokmal translation of the theme you can download it here. The zip-file contains the nb_NO.mo and nb_NO.po files. Beware of one issue though: A bug prevented me from translating the “% comments”-line. Since it is just draft I didn’t bother to debug the issue, but if you find a fix – let me know!
