Translate a WordPress Genesis child theme

When using WordPress, I prefer to translate files with .mo and .po files. 

To translate a WordPress Genesis child theme, do the following:

Create a folder /languages in the child theme. 

Copy the genesis.pot file from the mother theme under /genesis/lib/languages to the new folder. Note that the child theme doesn't have a lib folder. With a /lib folder it won't work! 

Next, in the child theme funtions.php file, copy this over: 

define('GENESIS_LANGUAGES_DIR', STYLESHEETPATH.'/languages');
define('GENESIS_LANGUAGES_URL', STYLESHEETPATH.'/languages');

This snippet should be on the top of the functions.php file, after the opening php tag and before include_once. 

Finally, use a program like poedit to create a .mo and .po file with the necessary translations.
