Sure, why not.
- Does your theme functions.php call the load_text_domain function to load the stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings.? I.e:
```
// Make theme available for translation
// Translations can be filed in the /lang/ directory
load_theme_textdomain( 'name-of-your-theme', TEMPLATEPATH . '/lang' );

$locale = get_locale();
$locale_file = TEMPLATEPATH . &quot;/lang/$locale.php&quot;;
if ( is_readable( $locale_file ) )
	require_once( $locale_file );
```
- Are the strings identified with said textdomain? I.e.
```
_e('some string', 'name-of-your-theme');
```
