 * Hi
 * It’s said in the description that this plugin can now be translated in to different
   languages.
 * I made a Danish translation of this plugin, but I can’t get it work…
 * What should I do to make this translation work? I have the .po and .mo files,
   but it seems that the plugin wont read the translations.
 * Best regards
    FrederikRS

 * I localized the issue:
    The “load_plugin_textdomain” wasn’t set in the main plugin
   file.
 * To get translations work just add this line:
 * `load_plugin_textdomain( 'custom-contact-forms', false, dirname( plugin_basename(
   __FILE__ ) ) . '/lang/' );`
 * to the beginning of the file custom-contact-forms.php.
 * Rename your translation files to “custom-contact-forms-da_DK.po” and “custom-
   contact-forms-da_DK.mo” (for the Danish translation).
 * I wrote to Taylor Lovett and asked to add this line to the file.

 * Thank you! Translated to Spanish and could not wonder the reason why wasn’t working.
