Send the translation to me and I'll add it in the next release.

Sending massive amounts of mail without a paid service can be an advanced task that requires a lot of information and testing from you.<\/p>\n\n<p>First check your settings, make sure SMTP is configured correctly according to the details provided by your SMTP host. Often you can get details about how many mails that can be sent per hour etc. by asking politely :)<\/p>\n\n<p>If the first, lets say, 40 recipents receives the newsletter and the rest doesn't, check if your webserver (not the SMTP host) has a maximum expiration period for php scripts and, if possible, change it to something higher. Lowering the number of mails sent per connection and expanding the period between connections can also work if used with the wp-cron AntiFlood feature.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>0.5.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: The \"Wrong parameter count for nl2br()\" bug for those using pre 5.3.0 php installations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.5.3<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: Ability to set mail format in settings to both plain\/html, plain only and html only<\/li>\n<li>Added: Settings link to plugin list entry<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Encryption over SMTP<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Bug when saving settings and not defining smtp password<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Total deletion of all settings and tables when uninstalling plugin<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Proper auto generated line breaks from text input<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Line breaks in preambles<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: WordPress mail transport error message<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.5.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: HTML-links within the mail now works properly<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Some minor formatting issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.5.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Small bug with stream_get_transports() function error message<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Removed event setting from displaying since it's not supported yet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.5<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: wp_cron function to send mails<\/li>\n<li>Added: Welcome message<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.4.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: \"Potential issues\"-section on the options page<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Two database entries missing in the uninstall deletion process<\/li>\n<li>Some new localized text, updated .pot file<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.4.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Small change in antiflood settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: Proper options page on admin panel<\/li>\n<li>Added: Complete deletion of database entries when uninstalling<\/li>\n<li>Added: AntiFlood feature to prevent SMTP servers to think your newsletters are spam<\/li>\n<li>Added: Ability to write two separate \"articles\" in a mail<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Templates are now ready for public use and modification<\/li>\n<li>Extensive change\/cleanup in overall code<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.3.3 beta<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: 3 transport modes: SMTP, Sendmail and mail() configurable on the settings page<\/li>\n<li>Added: Check if transport is set on mail page<\/li>\n<li>Added: Option to choose if upcoming events should be a part of the mail or not<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Serious bug where templates could not be found due to hardcoded path<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.3.2 beta<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed: Reciever mail variable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.3.1 beta<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Language fixes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.3 beta<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: Individualized user information in mail<\/li>\n<li>Misc fixes and code cleanup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.2.1 alpha<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: Swedish translation<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Minor language problem<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.2 alpha<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added: Send mail to specified role groups<\/li>\n<li>Added: l18n implementation.<\/li>\n<li>Added: English translation.<\/li>\n<li>Added: Users can now change SMTP Settings on the general settings page<\/li>\n<li>Added: Integration with Events Manager Extended<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Issue with Swiftmailer settings<\/li>\n<li>Misc fixes and code cleanup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>0.1 alpha<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial alpha release<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Simple plugin for mailing news or updates to members registered on the blog.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/46137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46137"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/edvind"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=46137"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=46137"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=46137"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=46137"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=46137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
