 * Hello,
    Well done for making a so popular plugin! I was trying to make it work
   with my native language which is Greek. I finally found and downloaded the Greek
   po file. I installed it but because i prefer the dashboard in English the plugin
   wasn’t showing a Greek form with Greek messages etc. It did only when i turned
   the admins users language to Greek too. That’s not very convenient… As a workaround
   i copied Greek files and renamed them to en_GB files to “cheat” the plugin so
   it shows in Greek. I would suggest you have an option in your plugin to choose
   language and override the default users language.
 * Thanks for your time

 * Hi,
 * Perhaps the simplest solution would be if Contact Form 7 created new forms in
   site language, not admin user language.

 * +1, I think we can choose how our forms are translated with our .po files. Great
   idea.
