Future

• Add Languages
• Consider moving towards DB installation or create separate package.
• Think of sane directory layout in case the files become too many.
• Find a way to version control Caouec's package
• Consolidate singular and plurals
• Look into integrating the base Laravel language files
• Further refining of how to create an easy to use organization.
