localization

load language file

you don’t need to edit functions.php (moreover don’t edit this line or it will break the localisation of the theme, because arcade, is the code used to know where to search translations) according to the line you read in functions.php, you have to put fr_CA.mo and fr_CA.po in wp-content/themes/arcade-basic/library/languages
