   I'm wondering how I can go about translating this in to another language (Norwegian). Is there a proper way to do this or should I just edit the original files?

   For those who can read Danish - and Norwegian can - there is a guide to poEdit and localization at this page: http://wordpress.blogos.dk/s%C3%B8g-efter-downloads/ (see the link towards the bottom)

   Hi!
   When trying to write my own translation, I discovered some serious issues with translation support - which render translation de facto impossible when not being fixed. Here they come:

   1. The provided .pot-file is named incorrectly. It should be named "co-authors.pot", instead of "co-authors-plus.pot", same goes in consequence for the generated .po and .mo files. A correctly named german translation would be e.g. "co-authors-de_DE", instead of "co-authors-plus-de_DE".
   2. The co-authors-plus.php contains translation functions, nevertheless a few lines are missing to make translation work. You must include
      

      $plugin_dir = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
      load_plugin_textdomain( 'co-authors','wp-content/plugins/'.$plugin_dir, $plugin_dir);

      before the define(...); functions.

   3. Finally, the __(...) and _e(...) functions for translation are used incorrectly, most of them being passed only one argument. These ones should be corrected, e.g. __('Authors') should be changed to __('Authors', 'co-authors').

   These fixes have worked fine for me and can be easily implemented with the wordpress-built-in plugin editor; please confirm if they do for you or suggest another fix. I have already contacted the author of the plugin addressing theses issues, so a corrected version should be found here soon. Till then I hope my suggestions will be useful.

   Thanks grubbrother, I'll release a patched version of the plugin in the next day or so.
