 * When I try to Generate a new button in Arabic Language “Ar” The result is : ?????
   in word containing 5 letters for instance ,
 * This plugin is the best button generator and the only one doesn’t support Arabic
   language
 * Thank you for great work

 * Thanks for the compliment, and hopefully someone will be kind enough to do an
   Arabic translation for us (the plugin does support localization).

 * It’s not a compliment (: , it really worth the translation
 * So I do the translation , but i think the problem is not a translation , the 
   problem is encoding ,
 * i am not sure enough about this information .
 * so how i contact to give me the translation tool for language folder and .po 
   files

 * First, if you say “Thank you for great work”, that’s a compliment 🙂
 * As for the translation, if you’ve never done it before, a simple google search
   should lead you to plenty of articles that shows you how to do it.

 * Yes it is (^:
 * _but still not understand how to translate this plugin_
 * there is a folder could : languages , containing : 2 file :
 * 1st : maxbuttons.mo
    2nd : maxbuttons.pot
 * second file is contain the { forget about this }
 * I am talking about encoding issue
 * English language is ok with me
 * but way when typing Arabic and save the button it appear like this [1](http://img03.arabsh.com/uploads/image/2013/01/02/0d31424865f604.gif)

 * Maybe it’s because the plugin doesn’t yet support right-to-left languages, I’m
   not sure.
