 * Hi!
 * Just a quick addition that would be nice to include in future release… In the
   chat window, the date/time of the messages are not being translated and the format
   cannot be specified ( at least that I am aware of).
 * A suggestion might be to modify functions.php (line 715 in my release)
    from :
   $timeshow = date(‘l, F d Y h:i A’,$timestamp); to: $timeshow = date_i18n( get_option(‘
   date_format’ ) .’ ‘.get_option( ‘time_format’ ), $timestamp );
 * This would allow translation and the formats will be those set in WordPress General
   settings.
 * Great plugin ! 🙂

 * Hi jf_bertrand
 * Thank you SO much for sending through this suggestion, along with the code.
 * We’ll test this out and see if we can add it into the next update we release.
