 * Fantastic plugin Jason!

 * Should translations go under
    Development (trunk) or Stable (latest release)

 * That is a fantastic question! Public plugin translations is a [brand new feature of WordPress](https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2015/09/01/plugin-translations-on-wordpress-org/),
   and it’s new to me as well.
 * I am going to say both, because when Stable reaches 100% then language packs 
   are automatically downloaded when the released version of the plugin is installed.
 * However, also Development, because if it’s not 100% and I release a new version,
   that language would suddenly disappear from the installed plugin!
 * I think that the system will automatically copy common phrases between Stable
   and Development so your effort is not duplicated.

 * Found this

   > translate them in ‘stable’, they get updated in ‘development’ too. The other
   > way around they do not. So if you translate something in development, the same
   > string in stable isn’t updated.

 * Yes that’s correct! I’ve added a test string in both stable and dev and the stable
   copied over – so guess that’s the way to go

 * I’m confused. According to the translate site stable is v1.6.23 but it’s not.
   Stable is v1.6.24. I also added Strings to stable and they didn’t copy to dev.
   So I’m going to focus on dev only from now on.
