 * How You resolve this?
    I have code:
 *     ```
       // set text domain
       function my_plugin_init() {
       	$langDir = plugin_basename(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/lang';
       	load_plugin_textdomain('spbid', false, $langDir);
       }
       add_action('init','my_plugin_init');
       ```
   
 * My mo file is named: spbid-en_EN.mo
 * and it does not work.
