 * Dear Users,
 * I’m programming a new plugin and I want to make it support more than one language&
   as the docs saying that first I have to write the expressions like this
    `__()`
   or `_e()` and then I have to use the xgettext tool ! my problem is here ! I don’t
   know how to use this tool ! I already installed it but it doesn’t work ! as they
   are saying this tool creates a PO file which contains all the expressions which
   wrote in this way `__()` or `_e()` so is there any alternative program ?
 * Waiting your assistant.
 * Regards,
    Feras Allaou
