When using "Poedit"

When using "Poedit", the procedure is as follows.

1. The "olbsystem.pot" file is in a "/wp-content/plugins/online-lesson-booking-system/lang/" directory.
   Copy "olbsystem.pot" and name it as "olbsystem-xx_XX.po".(e.g."olbsystem-fr_FR.po")

2. Translate "olbsystem-xx_XX.po" and save it, then it is converted to "olbsystem-xx_XX.mo".(e.g."olbsystem-fr_FR.mo")

3. Upload " olbsystem-xx_XX.mo" to a " /wp-content/plugins/online-lesson-booking-system/lang/" directory.
