Hi there!
So, do you have problems with English or you can't apply your theme? :))
In fact, to apply your theme successfully you should name a folder with the theme and the zip with it, identically.

Exmaple: All theme's files are in the 'MyAwesomeTheme' folder, so zip archive of this theme should be named 'MyAwesomeTheme.zip'

Have a nice day!

This can happen if you upload the theme but change the name by mistake.
