While doing a Dutch translation for Atahualpa 3.4.4, I came across the following strings which were not properly gettext()d:

• In bfa_theme_options.php, lines 2035, 2049 and 2062, the %date option is hard-coded, meaning that in the footer of a blog post, the date will appear as, for example, 'october 30th, 2009' instead of '30 oktober 2009'.
• In footer.php, line 31, 'Recent Posts' is hard-coded too.

Unfortunately my skills in PHP are not yet up to par to fix these myself---the replacement strings look pretty scary , though I've already come to the conclusion that the .pot-file must be updated for the last item on the list .

Ack, who was I kidding---it was a game of follow the quotes around, and then it became obvious. The fix for the first problem is to replace all three instances of the date string

F sJ, Y

with

" . __('F jS, Y', 'atahualpa') . "

Problem fixed. Take care not to overwrite the single quote marks or the original---just the letters and spaces between them, please!

The other is easily changed, too, but I was too lazy to have tools write out the proper .pot-files. I manually replaced the offending section by

<?php _e('Recent Posts', 'atahualpa'); ?>

then hacked the .po file to add this string, created the .mo-file, and Bob was my uncle. Still, it's something which needs fixing for 3.4.beyond. I'll upload my translation files once I'm satisfied with how everything looks.
