 * You made a good plug-in, but it is not localized …
    People with poor knowledge
   of English have difficulty when using this plugin. In the code, no translation
   functions ([https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/internationalization/how-to-internationalize-your-plugin/](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/internationalization/how-to-internationalize-your-plugin/)).
   As well as a button on the plugin page ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/bigbluebutton/developers/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bigbluebutton/developers/))
   allows you to translate the plugin does not work [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bigbluebutton](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bigbluebutton).
   I changed locally plugin files for localization support, but I am afraid that
   with each change my change plugin developers will have to pay again.

 * Well, thanks for the feedback.
 * As you noticed localizing code is not an easy task. And due the way WordPress
   plugins were made in the past and the way WordPress worked it was really hard
   to get localization in place.
 * We have plans to update the plugin over the summer, so the new version may have
   something new to offer in this area (no promisses as the scope has not been defined).
   But also, on the bright side we are always open to receive contributions to the
   code, so, if you have made changes already in a way that others can benefit from
   that you can contribute those changes.
 * I’d be more than happy to add contributed code at some point.
 * Cheers,
 * JF
