[Plugin: Quotes Collection] [Bug] "Next quote" never translated

Hello, there is a tiny bug regarding the translation of particular string: “Next quote”.

Since you have

$quotescollection_next_quote = __(‘Next quote’, ‘quotes-collection’).’ »’;

at the very top of your plugin, you call the __ function before the init hook is actually invoked. Therefore, at that point the dictionaries haven’t been loaded yet, and the string “Next quote” doesn’t get translated.

To fix it, I changed the line above to a simple

$quotescollection_next_quote = NULL;

Then I added this

global $quotescollection_next_quote;
$quotescollection_next_quote = __(‘Next quote’, ‘quotes-collection’).’ »’;

right after

load_plugin_textdomain(‘quotes-collection’, ‘wp-content/plugins/quotes-collection/languages/’);

I should have probably filed a bug somewhere and proposed a decent patch, but I am in kinda rush 🙂

Cheers,

Vincenzo
