Theme uses plugin Like dislike counter to displays comment likes / dislikes. To install it, first download it from the link above, go to Plugins / Add new / Upload Plugin. Click Browse and Install Now. After the installation is completed - activate it. Select Like Dislike Lite from menu and check: Check it, if you want to use template code instead of Auto add functionality." and save changes. This way like / dislike buttons will show only in comments. Theme will also remove default styles from the plugin and add it's own. Styles will work for comments only!
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.
