plugin should use load_plugin_textdomain

Not sure I understand the problem. load_textdomain() should work fine. However, I will look at switching to load_plugin_textdomain() in the future.

Are you using a language switcher plugin or any other translation type of plugin on your site?

Yes I’m using wpml. Anyway, a plugin should use this function to load localized data.
I also suggest not to load additional languages by reading wp-content/languages folder.
wp-content/languages/plugins/ would be better, because if some po/mo are in wp-content/languages, the native language selector for a site in wordpress will show strange languages (“bp”).
I don’t want to bother you, your plugin is nice ??

I’ll switch to load_plugin_textdomain() for better compatibility with WPML for v1.3.

However, for backward compatibility, I will use load_textdomain() first to look for a file in wp-content/languages/, if the file does not exist, I will fallback to load_plugin_textdomain(). Does that sound okay?

Thanks for posting!

Sounds good ! My colleague will send you french translations asap. Bye
