 * Hello,
    I have created a Bulgarian language file to use with the great plugin,
   but I can’t seem to figure out where to set the language. Where do I set it?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * You need to put it in the languages directory of the plugin following the similar
   name as I have for the US file

 * A better practice would be to put your language files at:
    wp-content/languages/
   plugins
 * No?

 * The plugin is designed to pick up the correct language file from the languages
   folder based on the reported locale of WordPress.
 * I must confess, I’m not familiar with the above folder.

 * Hi Ajay,
    The above folder: wp-content/languages/plugins is THE standard folder
   where to keep your translations to make sure they overide the default translation(
   if existent) and are then kept protected from language files updates.
