## Description

Shows the original English text inside a tootltip when user is hovering a localized
text. It serves two purposes:
 1. Users occasionally use pre made localization files
which are not always verified. The plugin enables this verification in a glance.
2. Developers are usually exposed to the original English documentation which refers
to the English text version. While working on the localized version this plugin 
gives them the possibility to refer immediately also to the documentation – even
if the localized version is poor.

### Does it load the site heavily?

Not at all. It uses asynchronous ajax and thus its neglectable.

### Why does the tooltip displays “No Translation” so often?

Users may hover anything including text that is not localized and the tooltip will
display accordingly.

### Why after activating a new theme its localized text responds “No translation”?

Any new activated theme or plugin should follow reactivation of this plugin in order
that its localized text would
 be affected.

### Does a usual visitor also use the plugin?

No. Only a logged in administrator can use the plugin. All other visitors would 
not notice its existence.
