Answer 1

Have you included the language files in your theme directory?

The language files are in the default theme if you need them, or you can get them from here; http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Localization

It might also be worth reading this page with regard to localisation of themes & plugins when you're running more than one language; http://blog-en.icanlocalize.com/installing-wordpress-for-multiple-language-blogs/how-to-localize-wordpress-themes-and-plugins-with-gettext/

Finally I don't know if you're aware but theres a stack exchange specific to wordpress which you'll find more answers on than here; https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/

Answer 2

Have you checked this section of the 'How to': http://codex.wordpress.org/Files_For_Direct_Translation

As well as that there are some things that are not covered and need to manually translate.

But what you have done above does sound right for the rest.
