 * Hi,
 * i just tried to more or less successfully add localization support to the plugin
   by adding the following code to twitter-tools.php:
 *     ```
       function ap_action_init() {
       	load_plugin_textdomain('twitter-tools', false, dirname(plugin_basename(__FILE__)));
       }
       ```
   
 * and
    `add_action('init', 'ap_action_init');`
 * It more or less works and I’m using the CodeStyling Localization plugin to generate
   the *.po and *.mo files. Here I can see and translate all text strings of the
   twitter tools plugin. It does work on the website itself (I can change e.g. the“
   Follow Us on Twitter” text to my language), but it does not work on the wp-admin
   interface. To change languages I use the qTranslate Plus plugin, which in itself
   works fine on both, the site and the admin interface.
    However, I don’t know 
   what I’m missing, if any other files of the twitter tools plugin need to be updated
   as well. Any ideas??
 * Thanks,
    Klayman
