 * When I enabled the plugin I got this message:
    “Plugin could not be activated
   because it triggered a fatal error.”
 * It stayed inactivated.

 * I got the same error. In addition, underneath the error it says:
 * `Fatal error: Cannot redeclare update_metadata() in /var/www/clients/clientX/
   webX/web/wp-content/plugins/keyword-statistics/keyword-statistics.php on line
   165`

 * It was a conflict with the function update_metadata added in WP 2.9. Now it should
   work…

 * Mine is fixed too. Thanks.
    After activation I noticed it does not work with 
   languages other than English and probably German. Is there any way to make it
   active on other languages?

 * For now there are only english and german stopwords. Other languages may be integrated
   but i need the stopwords for it. Sorry, but i can’t insert stopwords for any 
   language by myself… if you have a stopword-list i can add the language support.
   i’m planning to change the way the plugin handles the support of other languages.

 * I have to work on collecting the stopwords. It is a big task. How did you do 
   it for English and German?

 * It’s only a list with frequently used words who can not be used to classify the
   content of the text. You may also find those wordlists by searching after it.
   But i can’t check these lists if i don’t understand the words. As an example 
   you can look at the file stopwords.js. There you will find the ones used by the
   plugin. You can never say which of those are used by search engines but you can
   change them easily by editing the stopword-list in that file… By the way: if 
   you change the words listed in the array (e.g. en for the english stopword-list)
   you can change them into your wanted language. set the language to ‘en’ and your
   wordlist will be used. It’s not beautiful… but it should work!

 * Hi, great plugin, one of may favourites!!!.
 * Here you can find a [list of italian stopwords](http://www.ranks.nl/stopwords/italian.html)
   and, in the foot, the links for lists of stopwords in more other languages.
