Hi, I'm new to Wordpress as of one week ago and I just built my first site. It's multilingual and I went for thr polylang plugin which seems to work pretty well for the nav bar and content created in the wp-admin area etc but I can't get it to work for the text strings in my theme. for example, in my footer I have:
<p><?php _e('web by Tony','Dora');?></p>
and in functions.php I have included:
function setup() {
load_theme_textdomain('Dora', get_template_directory());
}but the text is not translated when I switch languages.
I went to localization in the admin area and chose "themes" and scanned. It sees the text, I add a translation and then generate an .mo and .po file but still no translations. Can anyone advise me what I am missing?
ps. The does the setup function in the functions.php file get called automatically by wp when it runs?
