 * I have try to translate your plugin in french but it’s was not working.
 * I have change this line: load_plugin_textdomain( ‘pta-member-directory’, false,‘/
   languages/’ );
 * by: load_plugin_textdomain( ‘pta-member-directory’, false, dirname( plugin_basename(
   __FILE__ ) ) . ‘/languages/’ );
 * And not it’s working.
 * Can you do this change in your next version please ?
 * Thank you!

 * Thanks for trying to translate this!
 * This is my first plugin, and the information on setting up for translation can
   be a bit confusing. According to the Professional WordPress Plugin Development
   book, you only need to put the relative path to the languages folder, so what
   I have should have worked. However, there is a tutorial online that shows it 
   the way you did above.
 * I have made that change, and I’m going to test it out first here by doing a fake
   translation to see if it loads correctly and everything works before I release
   this new version (should be very soon). As far as I can tell, everything else
   is set up properly for translation.
 * Please contact me privately via my site:
    [http://dbar-productions.com](http://dbar-productions.com)
   if you have any problems after I make the update, or if you need any clarification
   of the meaning of any of the text in my plugin. If you do get it translated successfully,
   please send me the translation file and I will include it in the next release.
 * Thanks!

 * I’ve made the change and did a test translation, and it all seems to be working
   now. Version 0.7 has that fix.
 * Let me know if you have any other problems with the translation.
