3. Add language code in wp-config.php file. For the Dutch language, Please define it as ('WPLANG','nl_NL');
4. Create a .po file for the Dutch language from reactive.pot(plugins->reactive->languages) file with Poedit software.
5. Save the .po file with Dutch language code. So the file name will be reactive-nl_NL.po and put this file in plugins->reactive->languages directory. You will find your language code here http://wpcentral.io/internationalization/
