<br clear="all"><div>There seems to be some confusion regarding this item in the Theme Review guidelines in one of the reviews I'm doing with regards to Translation Support.</div><div><br></div><div>"<span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:22px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Themes are </span><b style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:22px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">required</b><span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:22px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"> to have all public-facing text in English."</span></div>
<div><br></div>My understanding is that all text the user sees - on the front-end (viewing the site) and the back-end (admin pages) must be localized. <div>Others feel that this only refers to the front-end.<div><br></div>
<div>I personally find it strange that you're not going to translate theme options so a clarification would be great.</div><div><br></div><div>Or perhaps a better discussion would be: in what cases would there be an exception to translation e.g. dummy text in special templates?</div>
