Localizations

BYAD Countdown distributes with translations for the following languages:
* English
* Français
* Italiano

Don’t see your language on the list?
There is a – byad-countdown-default.po – in the languages/ directory.
Use it with Poedit as a base .PO file for your language.
Save it as: byad-countdown-LANGCODE.po where LANGCODE is your language code (e.g. fr_FR).
If you create any, I’ll be glad to include it in the plugin.
