 * Hi,
 * i would like to customize this string in the confirmation email:
    “Tätige Deine
   Zahlung direkt an unser Bankkonto. Wichtiger Hinweis: Bitte gib die Bestellnummer
   im Verwendungszweck an. Deine Bestellung wird versandt, sobald Deine Zahlung 
   bei uns eingegangen ist.”
 * i have found it in this both files :
    woocommerce-de/wc-pomo-21x/du-version/woocommerce-
   de_DE and woocommerce-de/wc-pomo/du-version/woocommerce-de_DE
 * i have made there my tweaks with po-edit (.mo generation was set to automatically)
   and uploaded all ..,for the first directly into the core plugin folder
 * but i cannot not see any changes…the confirmation email has still the default
   string.
 * What might be the error?
 * my other question would be …where do i have to place alternative files
 * i tried it with
    wp-content/languages/woocommerce-de/wc-pomo-21x/du-version/woocommerce-
   de_DE and wp-content/languages/woocommerce-de/wc-pomo/du-version/woocommerce-
   de_DE
 * is this the right path to achieve it?
 * thanks in advance
 * cheers
    martin
