I have already translated entire WP to my language and I have a .MO file in the wp-content/languages folder. This file translates all the WP backend and some of the theme I am using. But how can I use .MO file that comes with the theme so I have a full translation?

WP has some nice, clear and exact answer to that. And faster than GFY, go figure.

anyway, you need to edit your wp-config file and look for define ('WPLANG', ''); and replace with define ('WPLANG', 'es_ES'); (or whatever language you want. If you want just the regular US English default, simply look for that line, which will have a language definition, and replace with define ('WPLANG', '');

Once you do that, create a language folder under wp-include folder and upload it. The WP help says you can create it under wp-include OR wp-content, but personally never have any luck creating it under wp-content. Maybe on other servers it may work, who knows
