Language Packs
By default, ClassiPress is translated into English but the theme has a built-in capability to be used in any language. ClassiPress uses the GNU gettext localization framework (.pot files) which is the WordPress de facto standard for localization. The AppThemes community has already translated our themes into several different languages which are posted below.
We need your help!

To install a translation, download the .MO file and upload it to your theme directory. You also need to make sure the setting of the WPLANG value in the wp-config.php file matches the translation. Read more about this in the forums.
The theme contains a .PO so anyone can translate the words using a tool such as poEdit. I would greatly appreciate if translations could be sent to me so that I can include them here for everyone else.
