wordpress localisation not working

2 Views

I have en_US.mo and en_US.po files in themes/languages folder.
My themes/functions.php are 

function custom_theme_setup() {                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
    $lang_dir = get_template_directory() . '/languages';                                                                                                                                                   
    $locale = "en_US";  // get_locale() is also returning same                                                                                                                                                                    
    if ( is_readable( "$lang_dir/$locale.mo"))
        echo "Yes, its working";                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
    echo load_theme_textdomain('tutsplus', $lang_dir);
    _e("Hellon","tutsplus");
}                                                                                                                                                                    
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'custom_theme_setup');
_e("Hellon","tutsplus");

I have en_US.po file which contains

I have included one file at the end, which also has the same 

_e("Hellon", 'tutsplus');

but none of this seems to work.

  1. The native translators in WordPress does not recognise ", so it skips that translation, that is why you don’t see the translated text in the front end

    You should, and this is a golden rule, ALWAYS use the single '. So your string should be

    _e( 'Hellon', 'tutsplus');

    Another point of note. You can drop the text domain completely. 

     e( 'Hellon' );

    If you make use of the text domain, it must be the same as the text domain explicitly named in your main stylesheet’s header.
