Translations

The plugin comes with translation support but as yet no translations are included. Please refer to the WordPress Codex for more information about activating the translation. If you want to help to translate the plugin to your language, please have a look at the i18n/readme-gen.pot file which contains all definitions and may be used to create a language specific .po file. If you do create a translation please contact me and I will add it to the plugin ready for the next update.
