Menu possition

Hi, really like the plugin, but I think it’s weird to have it located in the plugins submenu of the WordPress menu. Maybe it’s better to move it to tools/settings submenu? Keep up the good work!

Great plugin!

I’m so happy to found this plugin! It just works perfectly! Thank you! It looks a bit buggy, but only visually, and it’s not the problem at all to me. This image …/wp-content/plugins/gettext-override-
