 Replying to [comment:11 msi08]:
 > Just keep in mind that Kubrik is the default theme. I did use it while
 making the first steps with WordPress. I can just speak for the german
 users. Most users want to display the theme in their native language. They
 have to wait for an update of the german WP version. And what will happen
 with the automatic upgrade function in version 2.7? It would overwrite the
 Kubrik files if necessary. I personally do not think that this is a good
 idea.

 No, it won't get overwritten. Users will be able to upgrade to the
 localized version.

 2479, actually.

 developers

 The problem is with constructing the string, not translating them.
 WordPress is successfully translated by people, who don't know anything
 about PHP.

 The current situation works well for everybody, who is either making
 themes or translating. Please try it '''first''' and then, if you have any
 problems, tell me.
