 * After inspecting your plugin version 1.9.17 I found, that you provide localization
   of backend by utilizing gettext functions of WordPress. The Problem is, that 
   you never load a textdomain, so even if I have a translation, it won’t be loaded!
   
   I placed for testing purpose the `load_plugin_textdomain('wptouch', false, 'wptouch');`
   at the plugin main file beginning and voila, it loads the translation out of 
   plugins main folder.
 * Please update your plugin to be able to load translations!

 * Sorry for second remark but also the update from 27.08.2010 for version 1.9.18
   doesn’t contain the above mentioned load_… function call, so the plugin is again
   not translatable at all even if it is prepared for!
 * Please make sure, that the plugin loads a language file to be able to translate
   the backend texts (and some frontend) into needed languages. How to achieve this
   has been written in my first post.

 * WPtouch Pro is fully localized, ships with a variety of languages, and supports
   custom language files.
 * Our efforts are focused on it, not the free version. If you’d like to make a 
   contribution to the work, send the patched files to [help@wptouch.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wptouch-iphone-theme-localization-doesnt-work/help@wptouch.com?output_format=md)
   and we’ll include them in the next release.

 * So, what are you saying? That localization is purposely disabled for the free
   version?
 * If so, please state that clearly somewhere. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to
   get localization to work in the free version, because your changelogs for the
   free version mention fixes for localization.
 * But it’s not working.

 * No, it’s not purposefully disabled! Why would we have wasted time readying it
   for localization only to not implement it?
 * 1.9.19 is localization ready, and we’re working with a number of people to bring
   translations in. In the next few updates you’ll see those additions.

 * Excellent news, Bravenewcode! Sorry for misunderstanding.
 * Looking forward to that!

 * BTW, I made my own Norwegian translation with the “CodeStyling Localization” 
   plugin, which I’ve done successfully with a lot of other WP plugins, but the 
   translation is not picked up by WPTouch.

 * We’ll get that going, don’t worry.
