 * Thanks for this great plugin. I got it to do exactly what I needed.
 * On thing. The plugin adds a description like this: <span id=”mbainfo”>Product
   price CHF 39.00 Add CHF 5.50 for Faltkarte mit Couvert </span>
 * Now since my page is in German, I need this to read: <span id=”mbainfo”>Produkt
   Preis CHF 39.00 Plus CHF 5.50 für Faltkarte mit Couvert </span>
 * How can I translate this in an easy way? For now I have to go through all the
   variations (24 – 36) manually on all the products which is tedious… I hesitate
   to do this through search and replace on the DB.
 * Running the back end in German did not help.
 * How could this be achieved? If I change the plugin file, will be it stomped by
   an update? Or if it’s once set on the variations, will it remain changed in the
   database?
 * Would you consider adding the line in the plugin preferences, so we could pre-
   set the parts that need to be translated? I loked at the code and I was able 
   to find where you set the “Product price” on line 57.
 * I guess that’s where I would translate this part. But I was not able to find 
   where you set the word “Add” and the word “for”. And again, I hesitate to change
   your code for obvious reasons.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 * Thanks!
 * Alex

 * This is puzzling, since the plugin includes German translation files.
    - There are four forms of German (Deutsch) available on WordPress. Which one
      do you have your Site Language set to?
    - Did you set the Site Language before or after pricing your products?

 * Thanks Mark for replying!
 * The site language is German (Swiss). I tested to set the user to German (Swiss)
   as well and it did not work.
 * But I must have done something wrong. I just re-tested and it now worked now…
   After 2+ hours of doing it manually…
 * Sometimes the biggest bug of a software is 3 feet in front of the screen. That
   was the case here.
 * It works perfectly.
 * Sorry and thanks again!
