 * hello there,
 * was just looking for a way to duplicate a custom post type and its custom fields(
   ACF) … and voila -> there it was -> your plugin 😉
 * first, thanks a lot for your plugin, which does its work perfectly, even with
   all the custom post type fields created with ACF plugin
 * but i run this on a german website and then i found a tiny translation error 
   in the german language file. the problem is in the following translation string:
 * `sprintf( __( 'Duplicate %s', 'post-duplicator' ), $post_type->labels->singular_name)`
 * the german language file forgot to add the placeholder string %s
 * so on a german website it still displays english translation ‘duplicate name-
   of-post-type’ instead of ‘kopiere name-of-post-type’
 * but i created an upated german language file which you can grab from here
