I would like to localize only the front-end of the site, not the back-end.
I have a standard English-language WordPress install, but the site itself should be in Bulgarian.
I’ve set up Poedit (what a pain, it doesn’t want to open the .po files I create on one machine on a different machine) and saw there is only one list of strings that need to be translated.
I found this blog post http://3rdwavemedia.com/blog/2011/11/configuring-wordpress-to-have-a-chinese-language-front-end-with-an-english-language-admin-back-end/ – which basically says: localize everything, then use a plugin to un-localize the backend, which seems like a silly waste of time and effort to me.

Is there a way to separate front-end sentences from back-end, so we translate only the ones that are used in the front-end?

Mehmet, thanks for the reply. I did read the documentation before posting this. The catalog that is created appears to contain both front- and back-end terminology, without a clear distinction between the two.
