 * Hi
    I don’t think i understand the language setup. According to prew language
   Q and replyes, i need to set up individual templates for each language for estimates
   and invoices..?
 * Is it not possible to use *.po /*.mo files???

 * I got it, now but why break the standard
    path: wp-content\languages\plugins 
   with: wp-content\languages\sprout-apps

 * I’m not certain I understand what you mean by “prew language Q and replyes”, 
   you mean previous questions and replies?
 * Either way you can use po files to translate Sprout Invoices. We have a translation
   community starting up right now — [https://www.transifex.com/organization/sprout-apps/team/26910/](https://www.transifex.com/organization/sprout-apps/team/26910/)
 * If you’re referring to my post about multi-language, that’s different since it’s
   for sites with multiple languages. [https://sproutapps.co/news/multi-language-estimates-invoices/](https://sproutapps.co/news/multi-language-estimates-invoices/)

 * You can do both:
 * wp-content/languages/sprout-apps/
    wp-content/plugins/sprout-apps/languages/
 * It’s just the first is higher priority and will load first. In the case of /languages/
   plugins/ you could use the filter `sa_languages_directory` to change it.

 * Hi Again ;o)
 * Comment and issues..
 * 1. What i mean is, why not set deafault, higher priority, path to: “wp-content\
   languages\plugins” like other plugins uses?
 * 2. I have used 2 days of spare time to setup this an trying to translate the 
   plugin and now i found out that some words in the head of the invoice and some
   in the admin area can’t be translated…
 * 3. Now i hawe a date issue in a invoice i set the due date and it wouldt not 
   opdate this date…
 * 4. I live in denmark and we have no “state” in our adresses but i can’t leave
   this field blank for Client or Company…

 * 1) It’s just how I did it…no real reason. I’ll think about changing it though.
 * 2) The issues with the settings labels and descriptions will be resolved in the
   next update. I’m not aware of anything that’s not being able to translate in 
   the head of the invoice but if you can let me know what I can fix them promptly.
 * 3) This is a strange bug because I cannot replicate this at all. Can you on the
   demo site?

 * 4) Those can be filtered to whatever you’d like. Here’s an example – [https://gist.github.com/dancameron/3e4d4fe93a4214adac59](https://gist.github.com/dancameron/3e4d4fe93a4214adac59)
