## Files

- `atomic-elements.pot` - Template file containing all translatable strings from the plugin
- `atomic-elements-{locale}.po` - Translation file for a specific locale

## How to Create Translations

4. Upload both the `.po` and `.mo` files to this directory

}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'atomel_load_textdomain', 11);
