Late last month I released Green Park 2 Beta 4 with a small support for i18n — thanks to a lot of people with a lot more eyes than I have, I could fix around 15 smaller issues, two bugs and I got a lot of feedback regarding the i18n of the theme. Thanks to the community, we have support for the following languages:

1. Chinese by wxzbb
2. English (default) by me
3. French by Julien
4. German by Andreas Jacob
5. Polish by Tosiek
6. Spanish (castellano) by José Manuel Mao
7. Swedish by Jon Klarström

I’d love to see your language here as well ;-) Please check this posting: Green Park 2 – for translators

Cordobo Green Park 2 (GP2) has reached the Beta status after 8 Alpha revisions. The download is available at my WordPress Themes Page.

Apart from a new header graphic and more appealing forms and buttons, GP2 comes with a lot of code and CSS improvements, to render the website even faster along with typography and SEO optimizations. The Beta needs ~3KB less code on each created page compared to the latest alpha. The new settings page located at the WordPress Admin section, to configure Feedburner, Adsense and Analytics, has been cleaned up although.
