 * Hi everybody!
    We are using custom translation on our site where we use Easy 
   property listing plugin. Our customer needs a little different finnish words 
   than there is, in the plugin’s finnish translation file. Now, everytime the plugin
   gets a new update, the translation file gets override. I put the file to /wp-
   content/languages/plugins/ folder which usually works. Is there any way to keep
   our translation valid after the plugin update?

 * Specifically LINE 310
    // Look in global /wp-content/languages/epl folder
 * Placing your custom translations in that folder will take precedence over the
   included plugins translation file
