Hi Joy
Thanks for the response.
I want to be able to change all three, core, plugins and themes however I have only been succesful with “Hello Dolly” so far. My amended translation files have not been overwritten or updated. I am either not running Poedit correctly with the appropriate configuration settings or I am not changing the correct file in the correct directory, or something else is wrong. Just one worked example that successfully changes a *.mo file, that renders correctly on a browser, should be enough for me to figure out the rest, I think!
Also, I could do with understanding how the WP language files are not using the standard gettext directory structure of ./locale\<ll>\LC_MESSAGES ? I presume there is a config parameter somewhere?
Obviously I need to do a bit more research, but your help is much appreciated.
Cheers
Paul
