 * Hi! I see many people experience same problem but as a simple user I still didn’t
   get it how to pass by this problem.
 * On the top of a plugin it shows “File Permission Problem: Your WordPress installation
   does not permit the modification of translation files directly. You will be prompt
   for FTP credentials if required.”
 * Selecting theme to localize and languages that present in the selected theme 
   showing red color on .po .mo.
    Then I select language I want to add and it asks
   me a ftp password (login details and address in already). I type in correct password
   but it says to check credential info.
 * What should I do to solve it?
    Can you give detailed description as I’m a simple
   user and coding is something what I don’t know. Thanks!
