   Eliott, I have created a DEJAVU.PO File with translation of the strings to German using POEDIT.
   Now, as far as i could see qTranslate does a lot for mulitlingual sites.

   But all I want is the main strings used to be translated into German, like "read more ...." "posted by" .... --> so this long list of where to translate what makes no sense regarding theme - updates .

   now I have read myself through WP.CONTEX and parts of the code and I dont quite understand why it does not translate.

   I have set wp_config / WPLANG = 'de_DE'
   I have created Dejavu.po and Dejavu.mo in the themes/language folder

   and I found in the code framework.php line 240

   		} else {
   			# Load theme textdomain.
   			load_theme_textdomain( MYSITE_TEXTDOMAIN, THEME_DIR . '/languages' );
   			$locale_file = THEME_DIR . "/languages/$locale.php";
   		} else {
   			# Load theme textdomain.
   			load_theme_textdomain( MYSITE_TEXTDOMAIN, THEME_DIR . '/languages' );
   			$locale_file = THEME_DIR . "/languages/$locale.php";

   and I cannot see any PHP - file in the languages folder.

   Maybe you can give me a hint how to get the themes messages from the translated .po file

   Hello Heli Retzek,

   Try renaming your .mo file to "de_DE.mo" and place it inside /dejavu/languages/ to see if this works. I'm not exactly sure but you may need to place it inside /wp-content/languages/ also.

   See if this works for you nasyademich, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/Translating_your_site#Uploading_the_.mo_file.

   You may need to also upload your .mo file into /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/ and /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/languages/.

   I'm not entirely sure and haven't tested it yet.

   Let us know how that goes.
