Are translation files (.pot) mandatory for wordpress theme?

Hello All,

I want to know if .POT file is required for wordpress? Please confirm me guys.

They may not be mandatory, but there is no reason to not to include them. It’s a few minutes work to generate them via PoEdit.

Yes it’s required

The easiest way: Create your PO file using POEdit application See This Link, Then open the new PO file with EazyPro and save as POT and finally rename it with your theme name.
