 * I started to translate language file to Traditional Chinese, as my WP admin page
   using English, so is it possible to force WPPA to use which locale like this:
 * %%wppa%%
    %%locale=zh_TW%%

 * You can patch wppa-common-functions.php
 * Look for `function wppa_load_language() {` on line 688.
 * approx 20 lines further it reads:
 *     ```
       .
       	// Get locale from wp-config
       	else {
       		$wppa_locale = get_locale();
       		$lang = substr($wppa_locale, 0, 2);
       	}
   
       	if ($wppa_locale) {
       ```
   
 * Change to:
 *     ```
       .
       	// Get locale from wp-config
       	else {
       		$wppa_locale = get_locale();
       		$lang = substr($wppa_locale, 0, 2);
       	}
   
       	$wppa_locale = 'zh_TW';
   
       	if ($wppa_locale) {
       ```

 * opajaap,
 * Great Thanks!
 * Will you consider to make it configurable on admin page for later version?
