Translate text on the front page with t() Have a multilingual site with English and French, I have all my static text on my page--front.tpl.php wrapped with a t(), cleaned my cache and refreshed the strings, but still i cant find the strings to translate them.
I'm I doing something wrong here?
example of code on page--front.tpl.php

&lt;div class="class-example"&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="node/add/poll" class="create-nav-dim cr-nav-bg mb10"&gt;&lt;?php print t('Create New content'); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;h2 &gt;&lt;?php print t('OR'); ?&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="example-class"&gt;&lt;?php print t('check our content'); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
You need to activate the locale module.  

Under "Admin >> Configuration" you find a section regional and language.
Add a new language, and set it as default language; after that, you can use the 'translate interface' to translate the strings wrapped in t() for your new language.
