+ * Try to keep the message as close to the original in meaning as possible. These simple rules also apply to other files you're translating, such as:
+ * auth.php, pagination.php, passwords.php, and validation.php.
+ * It is VERY important that you "escape" single quotes with a backslash if they're present in your language, like this: I\'m an escaped quote
+ *
+ * Additionally, don't change anything in square or curly brackets, and don't remove pipe (|) characters.
+ * If you see two messages separated by pipe, then usually the left side is singular and the right side is plural, so translate accordingly.

+ * Thank you for translating!
