 * Hallo,
    this is greate plugin, but I can’t find way, how to switch language in
   widget. I have Piwigo (2.5.1) with EN as default and SK as second language. In
   WordPress I need only SK and I have EN. Is possible switch them?
 * Sorry for my english and thanks for answer.

 * In few words:
 * 1 – Make a copy of default.po
    2 – Rename it as pwg-sk_SK.po 3 – Download & install
   Poedit or similar tool [http://www.poedit.net/index.php](http://www.poedit.net/index.php)
 * 4 – Edit your pwg-sk_SK.po with your tool
    Saving your .po file would create 
   a .mo file

 * I find this module:
    [http://www.code-styling.de/english/development/wordpress-plugin-codestyling-localization-en](http://www.code-styling.de/english/development/wordpress-plugin-codestyling-localization-en)
 * I translate little of user interface.
    There is another problem. In piwigo i 
   have names of albums like this: [lang=default]Images[/lang][lang=sk]Obrázky[/
   lang] In WordPress I see default language, it is EN. Can I change this? You can
   see it here:
 * [http://www.shubol.sk](http://www.shubol.sk)
 * And second question: When I translate all in *.po file, is place where I can 
   upload them for another users?
 * Thanks for your help and willingness.

 * Plugin: Codestyling Localization is a good tool to update your .po and .mo
 * Please wait for next version.
    I will send you a pre-version to get your updated*.
   po file. So other users will get a slovak version of piwigopress.
 * For names of albums like :
    [lang=default]Images[/lang][lang=sk]Obrázky[/lang]
   I don’t have a solution yet. I have to make some searches.
 * Thanks.

 * For names of albums like :
    [lang=default]Images[/lang][lang=sk]Obrázky[/lang]
 * I did not find a quick solution.
    I was expecting a similar shortcode equivalent
   from another WordPress plugin.
 * So I add the point to my todo list (3rd priority).
