 * First off, let me say that I am very impressed with your plugin. Lots of features
   and costumizability.
 * I use the plugin on a Danish site, and for the most part I have been able to 
   edit the text from English to Danish. However, there are a couple of things I
   haven-t been able to change:
 * 1. The dates/months shown when activating grouping of events by months are shown
   in English. Can they be edited and changed to Danish format and names?
 * 2. On the event pages the booking form uses English terms for each field. Can
   they be edited and changed to Danish?
 * Take a look on these page to see what I mean:

 * Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work.

 * I am not using a translation plugin. Most of the text is editable in the backend
   of the plugin, except for a those two examples.

 * Try adding this to the functions.php file of your theme, changing OLD and NEW
   as needed:
 *     ```
       function my_em_text_rewrites($translation, $orig, $domain) {
       	str_replace('OLD','NEW', $translation);
       	return $translation;
       }
       add_action ( 'gettext', 'my_em_text_rewrites', 1, 3 );
       ```
