 * Hi,
 * as we all know every additional plugin requires load time, a very scarce resource.
   So I’d like to know wether the changes remain if I deactivate (not delete) the
   plugin until further usage?
 * Thanks,
    Stefan

 * Hello Stefan,
 * You can deactivate the plugin, but once it is deactivated, it won’t work.
 * It does not patch any files on your drive, so for the translation to work, the
   plugin has to be active.
 * There are other plugins and tools if you want to translate some significant parts
   of wordpress in your language.
 * Where QL works the best – are quick patches – that otherwise are pricey in terms
   of time etc.
 * The plugin is robust and works on our sites with thousand of strings. All work
   well.
 * N.
