If I understand correctly, the text domain in our `index.php` header does not take any effect. **The text domain for the plugin needs to be always the plugin slug**. 13. * Is there any reason why a custom text domain is no longer supported (in our plugin, independent of README translation)? * What happens, if we remove the `Text Domain:` from the `index.php` header? If we do so, I think we can translate the README description? 14. To your two suggestions: 15. 1. If we do so, the text domain for our PRO version gets `real-media-library-lite`, too. 2.
