 * Hi Support,
 * thanks for this beautiful plugin! I am using it for the first time and it works
   fine. I am nearly finished with setting it up and am trying to fix some translations.
 * I tried to translate the error messages which appear in the login form when a
   user types in a wrong password or does not enter one at all. Also I would like
   to translate the “Show password” check box. I used Poedit and I want to translate
   to German.
 * Unfortunately the .po file for German does not contain the strings described 
   above. So there is no possibility to enter a translation for those strings. I
   tried to set up a new translation using the .pot file but also there I could 
   not find the strings.
 * Is it possible, that you add these strings to the German .po file without translation
   so that I could use this file to enter my own translation? Or some other workaround?
   Would be very helpful!
 * I need the following strings:
    - Several error messages within the login and registration form
    - “Show password” check box
 * Thank you in advance!

 * Hi,
 * > “Show password” check box
 * This string can be edited using Loco Translate plugin.
 * > Several error messages within the login and registration form
 * These strings can be edited from the following file _**simple-membershp/js/jquery.
   validationEngine-en.js**_. Please note, that every time you update the plugin
   you will loose your custom translation.
 * Kind regards.
