thematic_doctitle not being translated properly

Hello everyone,

I seem to have a few problems with the thematic_doctitle function, no matter how i try to override it. The current default doctitle displays the doctitle properly for pages and posts; but when it comes to the search pages, the archives and the 404 page - the title is not translated into the language i use.

The same translation terms works fine for the search page; as they seem to translate properly - but no matter how i override the doctitle, or even chance the source code of it in the header-extenstions (thematic), it doesn't seem to update.

I'm using a homemade childtheme of Thematic, and Wordpress 3.2.1.

I hope someone has a clue on how to fix this; or perhaps just a direction i can keep on trying in. You can also see this url (temporary page): http://www.codeshark.dk/cs/?s=kompetencer&searchsubmit=S%C3%B8g ; Notice the header below has been translated, where the doctitle still is in english.

Cheers.
~ Thomas

I may have not understood this correctly, but I will take a stab at it.
```
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="da-DK">
```
It sounds like you are trying to change the "EN" in the Doctype, but this should remain EN, because the code itself is in english. The lang="da-DK" is what actually controls the language of the page. So in short, you shouldn't need to change the EN.

Here is an example with a html5 doctype, which should act as a template if you did really want to modify it.
```
// cheater html5 doctype
function snix_create_doctype() {
    $content = "<!DOCTYPE html>" . "\n";
    $content .= '<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"';
    return $content;
}
add_filter('thematic_create_doctype', 'snix_create_doctype');
```

Hello there Scottnix,

Thanks for your time and the quick reply.
I'm afraid that's not quite it. The HTML Doctype is in this case fine.

What i am trying to change though is the <title></title>, which oddly enough isn't being translated properly on the searchpage for example. Whereas text in the content area IS being translated by the same translation string in the template.

I hope that has made my problem clear - appolegies for any misunderstandings.
