I have read that some themes are now translation ready. What does this mean and how can I translate it easily?

Hiya,
That's means theme support multi language but you translate manually.
1)Download theme
2)Open simplemarket.pot via poeditor under the language folder
3)Translate strings
4)Save as yourlanguagecode_YOURLANGUAGECODE (ex:en_EN or tr_TR)
also first, define your wordpress language in wp-config.php
I hope that's helpful.
Cheers,

Hiya!
Yep, Mustafa's instructions are pretty much the basics of what you need to do!
You might also want to take a look at http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress

thanks mustafa and phil....
Mustafa: What do you mean with your last comment about defining the language in wp-config.php? Is there a different line I need to update? I have already defined the dashboard language to spanish....
Do i have to define something else for the new theme? This part is unclear
Thanks

Open and look yoru wp-config.php file.If you didn't define before add looks like this code,
define ('WPLANG', 'pt_BR');I guess spanish language code define es_ES so you can define
define ('WPLANG', 'es_ES');Cheers,

Ok, thanks so much mustafa. Do you know which BPress themes are translate ready?

OK - I found that
BuddyPress Default 1.5 is translation ready. However, it is located in /plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.pot
I can translate this with no problem right? I just notices that this theme is in a different folder than all other themes.

Ok I have translated the .po file now I need to know how I can create the .mo file. Do I just save it as .mo file using my Poedit?

hi Alexandegn,
try this:
download this http://www.poedit.net/download.php and then follow instruction from this video i find on youtube http://www.poedit.net/download.php
I think if you ope n your translatrd file in poedit program and then choose "sava as" it will automatic save a .mo file aslo.
