Translations
The plugin originally comes with English, German and Spanish language.
If you would like to provide a translation for a currently not included language, please go ahead and do that! I would highly appreciate it, and include the file in the next update.
You may either download and work with the current POT file that is located in the languages folder, or use a plugin (e.g., Codestyling Localization) to read the relevant text portions from the plugin files. Then send me the respective PO/MO file via e-mail.
