I've been wondering about the value of plugin translations, considering
a few points.
1. There doesn't seem to be any actual translations (although the
groundwork has been laid for german and french).
2. It's always a pain to keep such things up to date. Wouldn't it be
wiser to concentrate on code development instead?
3. Scripts aren't translated, so the usefulness is somewhat crippled.
4. It adds a requirement for gettext if you want to help with
development. gettext may be installed by default on many platforms, but
it's not on HP-UX, AIX, Tru64 and many of the others, so it could quite
possibly have negative impact for contributors looking to fix issues on
some of the less common distributions.
