 * Hi,
 * i tried to translate the Job Manager Plugin as the Job Manager – Resumes too.
   I used the CodeStyling Localization Plugin, POedit and other Tools, but nothing
   worked.
 * Next to the CodeStyling Localization Plugin, there is the following info:
 * > Compatibility: Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain
   > function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions
   > won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that.
 * So, it seems that the MO-File couldnt be loaded. Am I the only one with that 
   problem?
 * Hope you can help me.. :/
 * Cheers

 * Ignore that notice. We add it with load_plugin_textdomain too – load_textdomain
   lets us support the WP_LANG directory as well.

 * Thanks for replying. I didnt mean, that its not working at all. Its working with
   a lot strings, but not with everyone.
 * For example the search form on the job-list. Its still english, but i translated
   every “Location” in the “Job Manager” and “Resumes” Plugin. Is there another 
   trick!?

 * What about theme? if you’re running jobify or some other job theme it will need
   translating too.
