I thought of this. I did some checking, and I don't see them translated

translated, but not the names.

I don't really know much about languages, especially not Serbian.... Is
this a problem? I can add the translation markers back if you need them.

It's not a huge deal at the moment, since the plugin isn't compiled by

be once it's cleaned up a bit.
