You installed the .lang files at the system/language/eng folder?

The zip file doesn’t have a lang file.

You may need to contact the writer of the plugin directly.

Just noticed.. you mentioned putting the file in the Modules directory.

It needs to go in the plugins directory instead.

OK if i put the file into plugin directory we just use the plugin so no need to install the plugins?

As far as I can tell or remember, plugins are detected automatically when EE operates. You can go to Admin => Utilities => Plugin Manager to make sure EE has detected the plugin, once you’ve put it in the proper directory.
