To translate theme to another language, use swt.pot file from theme/languages folder. We recommend using Poedit for this purpose. Open swt.pot using Poedit, click File / Save as and name it swt-de_DE (de_DE is for German translation, en_US for English American etc...). Off course, your site needs to be running in the same language.
Simple Portfolio theme requires a plugin Custom Content Portfolio by Justin Tadlock. To install this plugin, login to your dashboard and go to Plugins / Add New. In "Search plugins" type custom content portfolio and hit enter. Click "Install Now" and confirm with ok, and "Activate Plugin" once it's all done.
Now simply go to Portfolio / Add New and fill in the content. Instead of portfolio categories, plugin uses taxonomy similar to tags named "Portfolios" in the right column. This taxonomy will be used as navigation in portfolio page template. You can upload multiple images which will be shown above the project content below the post editor.
You can also create a page, and set it to display your portfolio on the front page of your site. To do that, go and create new page - Pages / Add New. Enter the title for the page (it will not be shown), and under "Page Attributes" select template "Portfolio" from the drop down menu, and "Publish". To set this on front page, navigate to Settings / Reading. Under "Front page displays" select "A static page" and under "Front page" select the page you just created. Save changes, and you're done.
In order to change/remove footer link, you must purchase theme on www.simplewpthemes.com, and you'll also get access to support forum at the same time. To remove error message which is caused by editing footer link, just restore theme files via FTP.
