The MO file should be placed in the directory of each plugin. The name 
of the MO file should be LL.mo, where LL is the language code that 
corresponds to the main language file of WordPress (the value of 
WP_LANG, that is).

It is not hard. It's good to check an existing theme that is 
internationalised and simply follow the example.
I suppose you are familiar with xgettext to extract the messages in the 
PO file,

I recommend you check the Giraffe theme, at

It even allows you to change the theme language from the sidebar.

Hope this helps,
