Usually when people link me I see the trackback and I visit their site. I check the place out, read some posts, maybe leave a comment, and if there is anything that catches my eye I like to link them back.
However, I’m never sure what to do in a case like this. Looks like the author is responding to my wordpress plugin, but it seems sort of pointless trying to leave a comment. The author might be saying “this is a great plugin”. They might also be saying, “this idiot made a plugin that only works in English”. Either one is true.
