Drupal theme localization made easy
We're starting to add theme localization to the ICanLocalize module which will allow localizing Drupal themes in three clicks.
Drupal has a pretty well organized procedure for translating strings (including theme strings), but localizing themes is still not a very straight procedure.
The way we want theme localization to work
We're looking to create a fully automated flow for localizing themes. This should include:
- Upload the theme's files (individual files or a ZIP) to Drupal.
- Drupal will scan and extract all the texts that require translation. It will add them to the strings and associate with the theme.
- You'll then be able to translate the strings manually using the string translation mechanism or send to translation to ICanLocalize with a single click.
What do you think about this process? How are you handling theme localization right now?

When you are buying a theme
When you are buying a theme you need to ask if it has RTL support. If it has correct support then the layout should all be done correctly for an Arabic blog.
