Manage the quotes
Start managing your quotes accessing the new top menu ‘Quotes’:
In the quote editor enter the quote content and optionally, its author(if you have already added it before just type a part of its name to get an autocompletion) and 
one or more (hierarchical) categories. 
It is possible to define a title for the quotes, mainly used in the quote listing; if it is not provided it will be autogenerated. 
It is also possible to define some custom fields, for example to assign further informations about the quote, such as a date, a link, a place, …
The authors are implemented with a custom taxonomy, so from the Quotes/Authors page it is possible to manage them with the standard WP interface.
From the Quotes/All quotes page there is the standard post list table WP user interface to browse through the quotes. 
There is the full text search and two filters for the author and/or the category.
Restrict or allow access to the quotes and the relative operations in admin with fine grained access control
The plugin defines and assigns at installation time the following primitive capabilities to the ‘administrator’ role:
Category custom taxonomy:
<ul>
<li>‘manage_quote_categories’</li>
<li>‘edit_quote_categories’</li>
<li>‘delete_quote_categories’</li>
<li>‘assign_quote_categories’</li>
</ul>
Author custom taxonomy:
<ul>
<li>‘manage_quote_authors’</li>
<li>‘edit_quote_authors’</li>
<li>‘delete_quote_authors’</li>
<li>‘assign_quote_authors’</li>
</ul>
Quote custom post type:
<ul>
<li>‘edit_quotes’</li>
<li>‘edit_others_quotes’</li>
<li>‘publish_quotes’</li>
<li>‘read_private_quotes’</li>
<li>‘read’</li>
<li>‘delete_quotes’</li>
<li>‘delete_private_quotes’</li>
<li>‘delete_published_quotes’</li>
<li>‘delete_others_quotes’</li>
<li>‘edit_private_quotes’</li>
<li>‘edit_published_quotes’</li>
</ul>
Their names should be self-explanatory.
To customize the access control it is sufficient to grant/revoke such caps with a role editing plugin, for example <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/" rel="ugc">User Role Editor</a>.
Import/Export
To copy all the quotes from a WordPress instance to another just use the related tools provided by WordPress, accessible from the Tools menu.
Publish the quotes
Quotes can be published on the front end with three methods: widgets, shortcodes and template tags.
Widgets
The Selected Quote and the Random Quote widgets can be used to to display one single quote in the widget areas provided by the used theme.
The Selected Quote widget allows to display a specific quote. Just select it with the control that lists all quotes by their titles.
The random quote displayed by the homonymous widget can be optionally limited to the quotes by an author and/or a category using the provided controls.
Shortcodes
Shortcodes can be used to display quotes in posts and pages.
To display a quote in a post or page use the [quote] shortcode passing it the ID of the quote. 
Quote IDs can be easily read from the Quotes/All Quotes page, hovering with the mouse on the relevant row of the quotes list table. 
So, to display in a post a quote whose ID is 181 just enter [quote id=”181] in the post content editor.
To display a random quote from all the quotes or only from a category and/or author there is the [rnd_quote] shortcode. 
Category and author, when provided, must be identified by their name. 
Example:
[rnd_quote] -> random quote 
[rnd_quote author=”Oscar Wilde”] -> a random quote from the author ‘Oscar Wilde’ 
[rnd_quote category=”Art”] -> a random quote from the ‘Art’ category 
[rnd_quote category=”Art” author=”Pablo Picasso”] -> a random quote in the ‘Art’ category and by the ‘Pablo Picasso’ author
Template tags
If you prefer to modify the theme templates, two template tags are available that mimic the behaviour of the widgets and shortcodes.
<ul>
<li>mg_qt_get_quote($id) gets a single quote, specified by its ID</li>
<li>mg_qt_get_rnd_quote($category = null, $author = null) Pick one random quote, optionally from the category and/or the author specified(by they names)</li>
</ul>
These two functions return a string with the HTML markup for the picked quote; mg_qt_quote($id) and mg_qt_rnd_quote($category = null, $author = null) 
instead directly output the markup.
Quote markup customization
By default the markup generated for a quote is something like this:
<pre><code><blockquote class="mg_qt_quote">
 WordPress puts food on my table
 <footer class="meta">
 <cite class="author">Mark Jaquith</cite>
 </footer>
</blockquote>
</code></pre>
To modify this template the ‘mg_qt_quote_markup’ filter is available. It it invoked with two parameters:
<ol>
<li>The generated html</li>
<li>An associative array with the quote data. The available keys are: ‘content’, ‘author’, ‘title’, ‘id’.</li>
</ol>

XV Random Quotes helps you collect and display random quotes everywhere on your blog. The plugin is so flexible that it can be used to display random words of all sorts: taglines, “leave a response” messages, footer or header sections etc.
It’s based on the work of previous (abandoned) plugins: Stray Quotes Z, which was based on top of Stray Quotes, which was based on top of ZombieRobot’s Random Quotes.
The main features:
<ul>
<li>As many widgets as you need, each with its individual set of options, to display one or more quotes from all or some categories, randomly or in sequence, with or without AJAX, etc.</li>
<li>AJAX automation so a reader of the blog can get another quote without reloading the page.</li>
<li>Optional automatic rotation of the quotes within a given interval of seconds.</li>
<li>Multiuser ready (contributors to the blog can access a limited version of the plugin, adding and managing their own sets of quotes)</li>
<li>Shortcodes that can be used to add one quote or series of quotes to your posts and pages. The shortcodes come with a set of individual options as well and, if needed, they can be extended to apply everywhere on the blog, allowing random words for the tagline, the category names, the post titles etc.</li>
<li>Template tags to add one or more quotes — random words in general — directly to the template pages. Template tags support many variables as well.</li>
<li>A Settings page to customize the appearance of the quotes with little or no knowledge of HTML.</li>
<li>A easy to use management page where even thousands of quotes can be handled easily, with bulk actions to change category, delete quotes and toggle visibility of many quotes at a time.</li>
<li>A bookmarklet to create quotes on the fly as you browse the web and find text worth quoting.</li>
<li>A help page where everything you need to know is explained.</li>
</ul>

Actually, these translations are not updated to the latest version. 
I am looking for new localizers, all languages welcome!
