Make strings translatable?

[Aetles]

It would be nice if all English strings where encapsulated with the translation functions of WordPress.

Like __('Footer') instead of just 'Footer' in widgets and changing echo ' Archive | ' in header to something like echo ' ' . __('Archive') . ' | '.

Nice tip! I will look into this and include it in a future commit.

The above code is actually not a good example, I realize. Themes should use a text-domain, the Codex says:

If you're translating a plugin or a theme, you'll need to use a text domain to denote all text belonging to that plugin. This increases portability and plays better with already existing WordPress tools.

But my examples above worked for me as a lazy way of doing it since word like Footer and Sidebar already have translations in WordPress.

And as a final note, if the name of the widget areas are changed then they can't be called by name anymore so <?php dynamic_sidebar("Sidebar"); ?> has to change to <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'foundationpress_sidebar' ); ?>.

To echo a single translatable string, do not use echo __('Archive','FoundationPress');.
The correct way is to use _e('Archive','FoundationPress');

If the string is used within a echo function, you can use
echo ' ' . __('Archive','FoundationPress') . ' | ' without any problem :-)
