 * Today I installed this plugin on a several Dutch websites.
    We noticed that on
   some websites the plugin is fully in Dutch and on some other websites in English.
   I can’t find out what is the trigger to show Dutch or English, because they all
   on the same WordPress version.

 * You need to make sure your WordPress language is at Dutch. That will trigger 
   the ability to download the latest translation files (under ‘Updates’).
 * Let me know if you need any further assistance.

 * I noticed that on some installations the mo and po files are stored in the wrong
   location. Sometimes it stored in languages (wrong) and sometimes in languages/
   plugin (OK)

 * [@kmg454](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmg454/); Storing it in the /languages
   folder directly inside the plugin folder is not wrong at all. Do however note
   that IF you add PO/MO files to the /wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder that
   WordPress priorities that. That means that PO/MO files added to the /languages
   folder in the plugins folder will not work, as it’s overriden by WordPress.

 * I know about priority but when the mo and po files are in de language directory
   your plugin is not working on my system, when i move them to language/plugin 
   it works.
