For those then wishing to translate, I will go over a program called poEdit, which will allow you to translate the plugin for your use and for others. The Benefits of Localizing a Plugin The more languages your plugin is in, the more people that can download and understand it. If a plugin is popular enough, you’ll have people volunteering to translate in order to adhere to a different part of the world.

WordPress as a resource and the talent and innovation of the people behind WordPress continues to amaze me even to this day. The two plugins I would like to feature today have been written out of necessity. One of them is far reaching with a large amount of resources behind it while the other is simpler, itch and scratch software.
