Quick Localisation allows you to quickly patch Wordpress localisation of any theme and any plugin

== Description ==

Quick Localisation allows to hook on `gettext` so that one can easily tweak Wordpress translations generated by functions `__` and `_e`.

For installation please see the [corresponding section](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-localization/installation/). It is as trivial as copying the plugin folder in your WordPress.

To get the flavour of what the plugin actually does, see the [screenshots](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-localization/screenshots/).

Once installed and activated, the plugin back-end will be accessible via a separate menu in the admin panel (WP Admin -> Quick Localisation).

N.B. by all means this plugin is not a replacement of the standard [Wordpress localisation framework](http://many.at/wordpress-localisation/translating-wordpress/). In fact, you are advised to use it as a long-term term solution.

However Quick Localisation comes very handy when quick patches or unconventional translations are required.

The plugin offers the following options.

= Editing Localisation Table =

* Old text
* New text (optional; empty values will remove the localisation subject)
* Text domain (allows to target specific plugin or theme "domains"; if set to "_ALL_" - it will be applied to all matching text)

= Export =

* Allows to export saved localisation for easy copy-pasting between the sites and backups.
* This feature also comes handy later when generating actual `.PO` files.

= Import =

* It is possible to import previously saved localisations or just copy them from other WordPress sites.
* It is possible to empty the localisation database prior to import as well as to choose whether or not to overwrite already existing entries.

= Hooks =

At the moment Quick Localisation hooks on `gettext` filter itself with very low priority (namely, 1000). Allowing it to be the last one to have a say on translations.

Should one use other similar `gettext` hooks, the priority can be changed in `index.php`.

== Installation ==

= As easy, as 1-2-3 =

1. Upload `quick-localization` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Specify text to translate
1. Voila!

= Usage =

Activate the plugin. Settings can be accessed via WP Admin -> Quick Localisation.

Use Edit, Export, and Import pages to manipulate translations.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How big can the database be? =

The bigger the database, the higher the load on your code and parsing. The relationship is exponential. Though we tested it with thousand words and the extra load was minimal.
