 * Hi,
 * I recently installed the Sell Media plugin.
 * I would like to localize the plugin by translating all the relevant text (“buy”,“
   add to cart”, “continue shopping”, “subtotal”…) in french.
 * I could directly modify the source code but then my changes would be erased at
   the next plugin update.
 * **So is there a better way to do it ?**
 * Thanks
