 * How do i control if a specific file exist in my plugin sub-folder?
 * I plan to make a language file in danish an a default i english.
 * so the question is how do i in practice make the following?
 *     ```
       if ( file_exist(WPLANG ."mo")) {
         include WPLANG ."mo";
       } else {
         include "en_EN.mo";
       }
       ```

 * I have looked at the article, but unfortunately didn’t get it.
 * I should include this in the plugin:
    `load_plugin_textdomain('myplugin');`
 * but how do i use it?
 * i have no problem in including the files, it is only the exists-part
