Thematic is a free, open-source, highly extensible, search-engine optimized WordPress Theme Framework featuring 13 widget-ready areas, grid-based layout samples, styling for popular plugins, and a whole community behind it. It’s perfect for beginner bloggers and WordPress development professionals (ThemeShaper).
I found Thematic while I was looking for a Theme Framwork for the new website that I’m working on. Thematic is available in many languages, except those that are RTL like the Arabic language. No Arabic support was bad news for me, as I needed Arabic. However, I liked Thematic enough so I decided to localize it myself.
Below is the download link to the latest copy of the Arabic language files. I will try to keep it up-to-date as much as possible, so make sure you check this page when there is a new release of Thematic.
Download for Thematic 0.9.6.2 (100% done).
To install the Arabic language files, simply upload the ar.po and ar.mo to your Thematic languages directory, and make sure you modify your wp-config.php file, if your default language is not Arabic.
define (‘WPLANG’, ‘ar’);

Thanks … that was just what I wanted …. but do you know how to convert thematic to be RTL??
It shouldn’t be that hard. Take a look at the link below:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Right_to_Left_Language_Support
They have a post or two about RTL support on their website as well..
that makes sense …
but I found a plugin that performs those steps automatically
… thnks
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rtler/... I have followed the steps stated … till a file called rtl.css was created … I guessed that this should be renamed style.css to work , but it remains the same.Can you pleeeeease try it and tell me if it works for you … I am still a beginner and have no tricks in my hat
I apologize, I no longer use Thematic, so I won’t be able to test it for you. I currently use RichWP http://richwp.com/.
Thank you for remembering. They were lovely. I can’t believe it’s been year.
