Ok, this question is smarter than it looks, hear me out
I was wondering when theming if it is required to have your theme name commented after everything you do, as in the example:
<?php printf(__("blah blah blah.", "theme-name")?>
or
<?php $blahVariable = array(__('Info', "theme-name") =>'blah_blah_info',
array(__('Other', "theme-name") =>'blah_blah_info',
array(__('More', "theme-name") =>'blah_blah_info'
); ?>
Do you really have to include the (Whatever, "theme-name") and if so why? Is it required by WordPress? I just haven't been able to understand the concept or had the time to find any information on it anywhere. Is there a way to just declare the name of your theme once?
