 * Most of the text comes from Google directly not from the plugin. Prior to v0.82
   but I am not sure going back how far, there was a bug where the plugin always
   used the Google Default Text override values despite whether or not they were
   enabled.
 * Because Google tries to be really clever and deliver their content in a local
   language, frequently I get questions about why the buttons or other text is in
   Chinese or another language. This is usually due to the web server (which is 
   what is retrieving the HTML code from Google) being geographically in a location
   where Google thinks it should serve some other language.
 * To rectify this problem, you need to add the language parameter to the URL in
   your Google Form definition within WordPress. Here are some posts on my site 
   about this problem:

 * Hopefully this will get you going in the right direction.
