What's Fixed

• Language switcher dropdown - dropdown now shows all installed translations by scanning both .mo compiled files and .po source files; previously only .mo files were scanned, so languages with only a .po file (e.g. fr_FR) were silently omitted from the list
• SPSLIDER_VERSION bumped from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2
