 * I got the POEditor for po and mo files, but WP is getting string translated from
   core localization.
 * eg:
 * I have on my plugin this:
    $btnFinish=__(“Finish”); //on line 141
 * my mo/po file:
 * #: file.php:141
    msgid “Finish” msgstr “It’s finished” – but in anoother language
 * WP give me msgid “Finish” from localization languaged not from my mo/po file…
 * I think i’ll use php define statement :p
 * Cheers
