## Description

Have you ever been frustrated when trying to find the text domain of translatable
string you want to translate? This task can be challenging and it can take a lot
of your time even if you have code reading skills.

This plugin aims to solve this problem by allowing website administrator to inspect
text domains of translatable strings directly in the browser.

How to use:
 * Press «Inspect Text Domains» button in admin menu bar; * Red dots
will appear next to translatable strings; * Hover the red dot to view the text domain;*
Open source code in the browser to view text domains in HTML attributes (ctrl+u (
Windows) / cmd+opt+u (Mac));

Works in:
 * HTML documents; * HTML fragments; * HTML attributes; * Plain text; *
Dynamically loaded content (through AJAX); * JSON;

Installed this plugin to find some strings, the page that i did need the domain 
said 404, than i deactivated the plugin and eliminated and now have all my widgets
in shortcodes instead the texts. Screwed everything up.

This plugin can inspect the text domain that belongs to which plugin or theme, whatever
front-end or back-end. If you want to do complete or partial localization for the
plugin or theme, Text Domain Inspector is the must-have tool.

Thank you so much for creating such a useful plugin. I couldn’t find any simple 
plugin to find translatable strings for years. This plugin is a time saver!
