 * I really like the plugin and want to translate it into German. Can you tell me
   when you will provide a language file / make the hardcoded text translatable?
 * Thanks a lot!

 * There have been numerous requests for this. I’ll add it to our list.
 * I don’t have much experience with plugins and language files. Do you know of 
   any good resources to learn how that works?

 * Basically this tells you everything you need to know:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers](http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers)
 * I went ahead and started a .pot-file containing text from the file sendpress.
   php. I couldn’t get it to work until I changed line 88 from:
    `load_plugin_textdomain('
   sendpress', false, SENDPRESS_PATH . 'languages/' );` to `load_plugin_textdomain('
   sendpress', false, dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages/' );`
 * And here’s an example of translating text that contains a string:
    `<b>Warning!
   </b> Before sending any emails please setup your <a href="'.admin_url("admin.
   php?page=sp-templates&view=information").'">information</a>.` needs to become`
   printf(__('<b>Warning!</b> Before sending any emails please setup your <a href
   ="%s">information</a>.', 'sendpress'), admin_url("admin.php?page=sp-templates&
   view=information"));`
 * If your interested in teaming up on the translation issue let me know.

 * I’ve seen you included the gettext instructions in the code so translations can
   be ready to use.
 * I’ve built my own po file to manage this because I need two languages for a website.
 * There’s a small error in the code in class-sendpress-view-settings.php line 60.
 * The quotes used for the word You’re are not ASCII characters therefore poedit
   fails to update the strings to be translated.
 * I’ve modified this part in the code so it could work.
 * Is it possible to have this fixed in the next version ?
    I will not be able to
   update the plugin without losing those changes.
 * Thanks again for this wonderfull plugin.
 * If you need a French translation I can work on it.

 * We are readying SendPress for language translations. I’ll see if I can get your
   change into the next release. Thanks!

 * **Hi Doug, hi everyone.**
 * As I wrote in the e-mail to Doug a few days back, I would be happy to help in
   translating SendPress into German. 🙂
 * In addition with the other guys here. Just let me know if you could need help
   in that.
 * Thanks for this great plugin by the way. 🙂
 * Cheers
    Martin

 * I believe we have a German translation started. I have asked Josh to add you 
   as a contributor to the translation. We would appreciate all the help you can
   give us. Can we send the link to the e-mail address that you provided earlier
   in the week?
