<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hey all,<div><br></div><div>This might not be the best place for this but I have searched through the codex and the forum, posted a discussion and received no response. I am creating a child theme which has some text strings that are translatable. I am not to sure on how to add my new .po file. Do I need to merge it with the parent theme's .po file? Do I need to use load_child_theme_textdomain()? Any help would be great since there doesn't seem to be any info on how to do this correctly (or maybe my searching skills need some improvement).</div>
