   I would like to translate the form text (not the settings) to Japanese. I notice in the plugin's folder there are a lot of languages, but no Japanese, an nowhere I could see to load other languages. Is there a special way I should handle this? I would rather not have to edit the main file and lose my edits after an update.

   How to translate my plugins:
   There may already be translation in your language, check before you
   start! Check the FAQ or look in the plugin languages folder.

   I use the free poEdit to translate, it is easy to translate.

   Translating With poEdit:
   -----------------------------------------
   1. Download and install poEdit
   http://www.poedit.net/

   2. Download the plugin POT file, look for the link below or find it
   in the plugin languages folder.

   Fast and Secure Contact Form

   http://svn.wp-plugins.org/si-contact-form/trunk/languages/si-contact-form.pot

   SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam

   Visitor Maps

   3. Open the pot file in poEdit.
   4. (See Image) http://codex.wordpress.org/File:po_edit_windows.jpg

   The box labeled (1) is the original message (in English) from the POT
   file. The box labeled (2) is where you add your translation. Boxes
   labeled (3) and (4) are used for adding comments about the messages.
   These come in handy if you are working with a team of translators and
   would like to pass around ideas through the PO file.
   5. Go to File > Save as… to save your translations in a PO file.
   6. When you are finished translating, click "Save Catalog" to
   generate the .po and .mo files.

   The country code is part of the file name:
   Italian (it_IT)

   The Italian files of my contact form plugin are named like this:
   si-contact-form-it_IT.mo
   si-contact-form-it_IT.po

   There are some strings with a space in front or end -- please make sure
   you remember the space!
   * When you have a translation ready, please send
   the .po and .mo files to wp-translation at 642weather dot com
   * If you have any questions, feel free to email me also. Thanks!

   Here is how to switch the language in WP:
   -----------------------------------------
   Put the translated file in the plugin folder:
   /wp-content/plugins/si-contact-form/
   si-contact-form-it_IT.mo
   si-contact-form-it_IT.po

   Set WPLANG inside of wp-config.php to your chosen language. For example,
   if you wanted to use Italian:
   define ('WPLANG', 'it_IT);
