I’m using the Tarski theme for a wordpress blog.
I want the blog to be french.

I looked at this page http://tarskitheme.com/help/localisation/, but I can’t catch up how to use the .POT file to translate it in french.

I downloaded the file and opened it with geany, made all the translation, ex:

msgid "Search Results"
msgstr "Résultats de recherche

But then can someone explain to me what to do with this file?
I suppose I have to rename it to tarski_3.0-fr_FR.pot, but then where do I put it? Do I have to “compile” it somehow?

Thank you all.

EDIT

It seems that I must ask a question here to find a answer by myself, I just find that I must generate .mo file from the .POT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_gettext#Translating

But I’m still don’t know where to put this file… still searching.

    You simply drop the .mo file in the root directory of your theme, and load the text domain. In your case, this last step is already done: the theme already loads its text domains (line 78 in functions.php, the function is load_theme_textdomain).

    If you’d like a GUI for editing your translation and generating the .mo, try Poedit.
