 * We don’t have any specific language settings for this type of thing, so it’s 
   going to be something coming from WordPress core itself.

 * Now I’m confused! 🙂
    There is a language folder inside the plugin’s folder… 
   What is it for then?
 * It automatically changed to portuguese on the last update and I don’t really 
   like the translation. I wish to revert back to english.
 * Should I just delete the language files?
 * Thanks.

 * We provide language files, when possible, for WordPress to load to show CPTUI
   translated to the available languages we have. However, WordPress is only going
   to do that if the installation is set to be something different than English,
   and if our plugin has translation files for that set language.
 * Somehow, the Portuguese files are being told to be loaded. I would check your
   general settings page to see if Portuguese is set as the language to load.

 * Dear Michael,
 * Thanks so much for your support.
 * That’s exactly the case. I have wordpress set to Portuguese in the settings, 
   but I wish to keep the Custom Post Type plugin in English.
 * Is it possible? How should I proceed?
 * Best regards,
    Diogo.

 * I have zero experience with this function, but it may put you on the right track
   here [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/unload_textdomain](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/unload_textdomain)
 * Not sure if it should be run on the same hook/priority as our loading, or afterwards.
   I know we load the textdomain on init with the default 10 priority.
 * If code isn’t quite your forte, nothing stops you from deleting the Portuguese
   files, but do know they would return next time there’s an update.
