 * Hi there, this plugin appears to be really good! Just testing it out before me
   and my team give it an awesome review as it looks to work well without problem.
   😀
 * but, I also wish to customise the ‘Session Timeout’ Text of: “…redirect you to
   a certain page…” to be more specific:
 * “…redirect you to the login page”.
 * How and where do I do this?
 * Many thanks,
 * Kristian.

 * I have worked out it is to do with the .po and .mo files in the lang file of 
   the plugin…
 * But, where do I put my edited file versions (which changes the text), so they
   are safe after plugin updates?

 * Hi Kristian,
 * Awesome that you figured it out yourself so far !
 * For the file to not be overridden you can keep it into wp-content/languages/plugins/
   inactive-logout-en_US.po. Keeping it here should work. If you want to contribute
   to language you can send a PR into [https://github.com/techies23/Inactive-Logout](https://github.com/techies23/Inactive-Logout)
   or send me an email attached to my [mailID](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-session-timeout-text/dpen.connectify@gmail.com?output_format=md)
 * If you are using Loco Translate plugin it gives you option to create this as 
   well.

 * Deepen, thanks for getting back to me! 🙂
 * Yeah, I we use Poedit to translate those files.
 * And thank you so much! This is an awesome plugin!
