How can I change the language for something else than English?

This plugin is delivered with English as the default language, and French as second optional language.
In order to use French you must have:
define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);
in your wp-config.php file.

Where in the .htaccess file the settings should be located?

There is no specific place for the settings in the .htaccess. The plugin should put it on the right place on its own.
The only thing you should watch is if there is no other redirection for images file (e.g. gif, png, jpeg,jpg) as it can prevent this plugin to work

What are the prerequesite for this plugin?

You must have the GD Library enabled on your server. The plugin will make a check for it.
Also, you should have the Freetype enable too if you want to use a “text watermark” instead of “image watermark”.

I set up everything well but my watermark didn’t display on other sites?

You should checks these:
* first thing first, try a complete refresh (control + F5) on the targeted website as sometime your page on those sites is on a buffer and won’t be refreshed with the new “watermarked” version until a complete refresh
* check the watermark isn’t wider than your image. If you use “text watermark” try to use a shorter sentence and/or lower font size
* check if the GD library is installed AND enabled on your server. Contact your administrator for further info.

Your plugin’s doing a great work. How can I rewards you?
