 * Hi! I’ve tried to translate the plugin. I’ve created the .mo file with PoEdit
   and I’ve uploaded it to the plugin localize directory.
    I’ve tried with different
   names without successful result. I’ve my WordPress configured with spanish language(
   es_ES) and I’ve tried the following names for the .mo file:
 * – email-alerts-es_ES.mo
    – es_ES.mo
 * No one of them works.
    I also tried to put them on the plugin main directory 
   but It haven’t worked well either.
 * Do you know what I’m doing wrong or maybe the plugin have some errors?
 * Thanks!

 * I have checked the file plugin.php file and it appears that the function is not
   working correctly:
 *  $locale = get_locale ();
    if ( empty($locale) ) $locale = ‘ru_RU’;
 *  $mofile = dirname (__FILE__).”/locale/$locale.mo”;
    load_textdomain ($this->
   plugin_name, $mofile);
 * According to the code the filesname of the *.mo file must be ru_RU but it still
   does not working. Unfortunately I am not good at php programming so I cannot 
   edit the code. Contacted Simon about this issue but did not get the reply so 
   far.
 * Andreu did you find the work around?
 * Thanks 😉
