    Hi,

    I would like to translate the theme.

    How should I name the PO and MO files?

    I tried

    he_IL.po

    and

    franz-josef-he_IL.po

    both didn’t work.

    It should be <language code>_<country_code>.po, so in your case it’s he_IL.po. But there’s a bug in the theme that causes the language to not be loaded. Will be fixed soon.

    Strange, the theme update deleted my PO and MO files….

    Needed to upload them again.

    But now the translation works, so I can continue to translate.

    But yo need to figure out why it deleted my files during upgrade.

    The files are deleted due to the way WordPress auto-update mechanism works – it deletes the theme’s folder entirely first, then recreates the folder and places the updated files in there. This is just like making any modifications to the theme’s files – those will be lost when the theme is updated.
