 * hello,
    a little error when loading translation file in wp-email.php replace `
   load_plugin_textdomain('wp-email', false, 'wp-email');` with `load_plugin_textdomain('
   wp-email', false, dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) );`

 * Hmm that is weird, technically it should work because I am using that code for
   the rest of my plugins and it seems to work fine.
 * The third argument is the relative path from WP_PLUGIN_DIR, so wp-email is correct
   unless you are putting it elsewhere?
 * Having said that, the correct argument should be `dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__)`
   so I made the fix [https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-email/commit/b03a4575912e936371ecb9e5f75a68f47333d84c](https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-email/commit/b03a4575912e936371ecb9e5f75a68f47333d84c)
 * Just curious, any error you are getting?
