 * Hi Xnau,
    thank you for the great plugin. Is there a german language support 
   already available for this plugin? I would prepare it if there is not any yet.
   Just tell me where else (besides the anyways editable fields) i should change
   the language. Thanks in advance. Great plugin. Works (now) well with wordpress
   3.8 Earlier i was facing problems with editing the data fields, but reinstalling
   it solved the issue. Kind regards from the Austrian/bavarian Border near Salzburg.

 * I suggest you read this article: [Translating WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress)
   it explains how to create a translation file. If you are interested in contributing
   a German translation that would be most appreciated.
 * The latest internationalization file is here: [http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/participants-database/trunk/participants-database.pot](http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/participants-database/trunk/participants-database.pot)

    May I suggest opening a free
   account on [https://www.transifex.com](https://www.transifex.com) or perhaps 
   using something like [http://remkusdevries.com/how-to-use-glotpress-for-your-translations/](http://remkusdevries.com/how-to-use-glotpress-for-your-translations/)
 * With Transiflex, people will sign-up out of the blue and contribute to a project.
   I’ve seen it happen.

 * I didn’t know about those services…interesting. The plugin is already set up 
   to use the standard WP translation mechanism (gettext), there are several translations
   completed, so I’m at this point committed to doing it that way.

 * FYI transifex supports [gettext](http://support.transifex.com/customer/portal/articles/913371-po-files).
   It also has the ability to feed the files [directly back to your repo](http://support.transifex.com/customer/portal/articles/996157-getting-translations).

 * Hi together,
 * I translated a part of the strings and created a german .mo/.po file with PoEdit.
   But now, having the translated files, I don’t know where to change the plugin,
   so that i.e. the buttons “search”, “clear” and “Search Site” appaer in german.
   In all the forums i coudn’t find or figure out, where to place participants-database_de_DE.
   no /.po so that the strings appear in german. Who can help me?

 * Chris, if you have a complete German translation for the plugin, would you like
   to contribute it to the plugin? Email me at support AT xnau.com

 * Hi Roland,
 * I just wrote via e-mail to you (I was the one asking for a search control able
   to search in 2 or all columns at the same time and a smaller single-record view.)
 * I just needed to translate the frontend buttons, but if you wish, I will translate
   the whole file and send it to you. Give me just a few days.

 * Hey Chris! I just wanted to ask you for the translation file. Is it possible 
   to get it?
 * Thanks! Ole
