You can read about the translation (in Greek) here:

Εξελληνισμός των WordPress 2.8 και Thematic 0.9
http://op111.net/69

And see the Greek Thematic live here:

http://op109.net/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The translation was in general easy and a pleasure, but I run into a couple of problems:

1. The string “Thematic Options” is not translatable.

2. text-transform:uppercase is not appropriate for Greek (because its output violates the rules of Greek orthography). So, users of the Greek translation will have to use Thematic with a child theme, to override the text-transform rules of the parent.

That’s all,

Cheers,

It seems there is a way to deal with problem no. 2.

I was reminded of it yesterday, thanks to a comment by Ryan Boren in the bugtracker:

You can provide a PHP file along with the MO file, and it is loaded automatically and acts like a plugin. So, for example, for German the PHP file would be named:

de_DE.php

... and for Greek:

el.php

You can use this PHP file to add a stylesheet to the head or to do whatever you want, but I’m running into a small issue:

The [locale].php file is loaded if it is in themes/thematic but NOT if it is in themes/thematic/library/languages

Anyone knows anything about this?

Cheers,
Demetris

Hey Demetris,

what happens, if we put the following code:

$locale = get_locale();
$locale_file = THEMELIB . "/languages/$locale.php";
if ( is_readable($locale_file) )
	require_once($locale_file);

into Thematic's functions.php?

Cheers,

Chris

You have a solution for everything! :-D It works!

Now I have a couple more questions:

1. What is the best way to get the CSS URL? Now I’m using template_url:
```
<?php

function greek_typography() {

    $gs = get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/library/languages/el.css';
    wp_enqueue_style('greek_style', $gs, '', '', 'all');
    wp_print_styles('greek_style');
}

add_action('wp_head', 'greek_typography');

?>
```
2. I can ask in the bugtracker, if you want, to find out if there is a way to load [locale].php from a non-default location without using extra code.

PS. You are free and welcome to add the Greek files to Thematic. (The reason I put them in my repository is that I find it easier to manage them this way.)

Hey Demetris,

.. solution is implemented in SVN revision 456
.. Greek language files are implemented in SVN revision 457

Try to use:
```
$gs = THEMELIB . '/library/languages/el.css';
```
Would be great if you could ask. I checked the core but haven't found anything else to define a non-default location.

Cheers & Thanks for your help!!
