* Would it be possible to support template source files using the .phtml extension.
Currently loco translate only parses .php and does not easily allow for modification.
* In LocoAdmin changing the method to
* ```
public static function find_php( $dir ){
$files = self::find( $dir, array('php', 'phtml') );
return array_merge($files['php'], $files['phtml']);
}
```
* fixes it for me.
* Properly an option to add arbitrary extensions from the backend would be even
more flexible.

* It’s a good idea. Thanks. I’ve added to the dev version, so this should make
its way into the next minor release.

* Future versions will also scan JS files, so there will be some more development
on these file extensions.
