Hi
I have downloaded the ultimate translate to my computer, i expanded it, and followed the instructions given on the installation. I dropped the folder in the \mu-plugins\ folder
The problem is that it does not show in the plugin list under the admin dashboard. The thing is that i also dropped the mass emailer and that one showed up ok.

off course you are right! thank you. I don't know what i was thinking.
However, I do not see the translation option showing up anywhere. Maybe I am missing the point. Where am I supposed to see the option for translation
Never mind! I figure it out. In this case, the files inside the plugin directory have to be placed directly into the mu-plugins folder so the "ultimate-translation-plugin.php" is directly under the /mu-plugins/ folder. Now, most other plugins will tell you that you should put the FOLDER inside /mu-plugins/
Perhaps I don't understand some of the tech speak in the install.txt for this plugin, but it specifically says to unzip the folder into /mu-plugins/. Doesn't this create a folder inside /mu-plugins/ containing all of the plugin pieces? It didn't work for me this way. Instead, I had to place the contents of the folder into /mu-plugins/.
Should the install.txt be rewritten on this one or am I just confused?
Question, will it be confusing for some users to get install.txt, changelog.txt, license.txt, and support.txt into their mu-plugins/ folder? If so, perhaps the instructions should refer to just moving the critical pieces into the /mu-plugins/ folder.

mu-plugins do not show up on the plugins page. They are automatically activated.

So guys reading the forums beware.

That makes great sense.
Question, will it be confusing for some users to get install.txt, changelog.txt, license.txt, and support.txt into their mu-plugins/ folder? If so, perhaps the instructions should refer to just moving the critical pieces into the /mu-plugins/ folder.

Yes, we'll remove those. We havn't updated that package with our standard dir structure.
