I wanted to include localization.php in header.php but it only works when I include it in index.php (see below). I thought that including it in header.php would make localization.php work in every file. (localization.php have functions that include a lang file in order to display a language).
Any suggestions??
It works like this:
index.php
*
* This is the most generic template file in a WordPress theme
* and one of the two required files for a theme (the other being style.css).
* It is used to display a page when nothing more specific matches a query.
* E.g., it puts together the home page when no home.php file exists.
* Learn more: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Starkers
* @since Starkers 3.0
*/
$body = "home";
include_once 'localization.php';
get_header(); ?>

<div id="mainbar">
<?php
/* Run the loop to output the posts.
* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
* called loop-index.php and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );
?>
<p><?php echo l('test'); ?></p>
