Not sure if this can be only reason to not approve theme, but Theme Review codex says, that themes are required to use
<tt style="text-align:left;font-size:12px;line-height:22px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">theme-slug</tt><span style="font-family:'Lucida Grande',Verdana,'Bitstream Vera Sans',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:22px;text-align:left;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"> as textdomain for translation.</span><br>
