 * I do not know when it actually happened, but it helpen me find the problem:
 * So right now, the l10n on your plugin does not work. Line 51 need be changed 
   to
    `load_plugin_textdomain( 'sidebar-login', dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__)).'/
   languages' , dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) . '/languages' );` and I 
   believe you need to add an .mo file.
 * Thank you for the good and simple plugin!
