 * Hey Tim,
 * I have a question about the capability of Loco translate. Is it possible to make
   it changeable? Trough a filter or something?
 * I use it on many sites, but have to change the capability every time (I want 
   editors to do language updates).

 * There is no filter for that currently. I’ll look at adding this in the next release,
   so I’ll keep this ticket open.

 * The current Development Version filters the `"manage_options"` capability through`
   loco_admin_capability` tag.
 * Feel free to try it out.
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/developers/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/developers/)
 * Example usage:
 *     ```
       add_filter('loco_admin_capability', function( $capability ){
           return 'edit_posts';
       } );
       ```
   
 * Currently this is not fine-grained. The one capability provides full access to
   all Loco admin screens and functionality. I can extend that in future if it seems
   necessary.
 * I’m marking the ticket as resolved, but if you find any bugs with this filter,
   just open a new thread.
