Where to Get Nice Smilies For a Forum?

I spent a big part of today searching, browsing, downloading, modifying & uploading smileys to a forum.

I looked for standard emoticons, the most common ones ( :-) :-( ;-) etc ), but also for other cool & funny ones, it's time consuming, but well, I have to take the time do it right then have a rest & enjoy my work's fruits as it's a one time task.

Here are two sources I used:

The first is a Russian site Kolobok.us, they have a great collection of those very popular emoticones in forums.

The 2nd is a great place for Manga style smilies, XtremeNitro, I just love Jap drawings & animations!

I hope you find them helpful as I did :)

We will use POEdit to create a PO (Portable Object) file which will contain all the translatable words & phrases and optionally their translation for a specific language.

Making it Translatable - Internationalize / Localize WP Themes Guide -Part 2

As I said there's not only one method to internationalize a software but Wordpress uses the GetText method & it's the one we should use for the theme. So let's start the internationalization then next attack the localization Note: It is highly recommended to choose / make an English theme & internationalize it, much easier than to work with a non-English theme. Internationalization needs an edition of the PHP files of the theme, those found in the theme's directory. index.php, archive.php, 404.php, single.php are just examples & all themes don't have the same number of files. You also may want to make a theme from scratch & make it internationalized. First you'll have to open each of the files in a basic text editor like Notepade , or a software like Crimson Editor , which is a notepad with tags highlights and many other useful features. NVU or Dreamweaver also would be fine. Now that you opened one of the files, start looking
