Hello everyone,
I'm doing a small project to be able to share with other users. I am currently modifying the "WiFiManager.h" directly, but I would like to know if there is a possibility to modify the texts directly in the application code without modifying the library.

In this way, I could support several languages by keeping the original library without having to submit my modified version.
