 * How can I translate the fields that I added to the registration form myself? 
   I’m using WPML but it doesn’t find the strings when I do a scan for the theme
   and plugins. The WordPress fields (username, first name, last name) are translated
   automatically.
    I also added the WP-members password field, that doesn’t translate,
   as won’t for example the reset button. Register button does, and so does the 
   TOS selection text. I looked at the po-file for my language (Finnish), and for
   example the reset button is there, but it’s not translated. But if I make changes
   there, they will disappear if I update the plugin, right?
 * I have 6 fields that I added myself, so it would be very important to translate
   them.
 * I found this topic asking the same thing, but there’s no answer to the problem
