 * Hi, I’ve tried several plugins, this is perfect.
    I switched off plugin and turn
   on again. Everything is OK Then I installed and re-installed without deleting
   the database. I lost the connection texts, but it’s all there. How to correct
   or avoid that, thank you very much. Maybe just to re-adjust languages as it was?
 * Thank you… I give you a rating 5

 * Hi!
 * You can’t avoid that. This is how every plugin should work.
    * de-activate a 
   plugin: every data is kept * uninstall a plugin (using the *red* delete link 
   in the plugins list table): every data is removed.
