Hi Tom, glad you like it.
Let me first address the bugs.
>Once I selected a language in the block I could not change it to something
else it just kept going back to the >first language
This should only prevent you from "choosing" a empty string as the
language, but I will take a look at this.
> **Error reported in Translator Block on Translator Submissio...
This is a new one for me, this will be fixed ASAP but please send me an
private email with a bit more data about what you translated since for now
I am not able to create this.
As for features
> **Plugin Support
This has been our goal all along, the basic structure to support it is
there,but before adding more complexity I wanted to make sure everything
works as it should.
As for the other features I completely agree, and will add them.
Thank you for the feedback and then kind words :)
Ben
