 * I noticed that this plugin has 9 MB of language files included in the plugin’s/
   languages/ folder. Most of this disk space could be saved if only the languages
   were downloaded the site needs. They can come from [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/photo-gallery/](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/photo-gallery/).
 * Can you reduce the plugin’s size by switching to this recommended method? I’m
   not a member of the polyglot team, but I expect that the currently used language
   files can be uploaded to this site, so the community can manage that.
