 * Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /home/****/*****/
   wp-content/plugins/lingotek-translation/lingotek.php on line 197
 * I got this after updating to the newest release, and I had to manually delete
   the plugin-folder via ftp, and when I try to download, and activate from scratch
   I get the same error. Any idea ? Something wrong on my end, or with the update?

 * We had released some code that wasn’t compatible with older versions of PHP which
   was causing the error you saw.
 * Version 1.2.8 of our plugin which we just released should resolve these issues
   and everything should work great now!
 * Let us know if there are any other issues.
