load_theme_textdomain() returns TRUE on success and FALSE if no file was found. For debugging try the following change: function my_theme_setup(){ $path = get_template_directory() . ‘/languages’; $result = load_theme_textdomain(‘my_theme’, $path ); if ( $result ) return; $locale = apply_filters( ‘theme_locale’, get_locale(), ‘my_theme’ ); die( “Could not find $path/$locale.mo.” ); }
I’d look into qTranslate. I haven’t ever used it, but it’s the only free alternative to WPML that I’ve ever seen. That being said, I’d suggest you just pony up the $30-80 for WPML. It’s by far the best-maintained and cleanest multilingual plugin you can get and it’s absolutely dirt cheap, considering what you get. … Read more
Your question is complicated enough to answer by myself, but I would suggest you to install qTranslate plugin.

Ok, finally got to the core of WP Native Dashboard basic concept and it’s working now. The file is being used as a mu-plugin, and whenever I have to work in the site I rename it from set-user-locale.phpa to set-user-locale.php, and then back again. Thus activating and deactivating without the plugin being on the client’s … Read more
Have you seen http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-native-dashboard/? I think it does exactly what you are asking. Also ‘interesting’ is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/in-their-language/ which attempts to set the locale automatically based n browser settings.
You must use the qTranslate native functions to do your job. Use qtrans_use, that is the function that do all the job in qTranslate. It’s defined in qtranslate_core.php, line 747 function qtrans_use($lang, $text, $show_available=false) Use it on the raw content of the post!
