No problem;-),will do an other round of translation this week for the big 
text in the plugins.

Normally not, but the case you submit here could be translated ;-)

No Usage shouldn't be translated either i just verified on my laptop

benoit at catbert:~/develop/nagiosplug$ ls --help
Usage: ls [OPTION]... [FICHIER]...
Afficher les informations au sujet des FICHIERS (du répertoire
courant par défaut). Trier les entrées alphabétiquement si aucune
des options  -cftuSUX  ou  --sort n'est utilisée.

Les arguments obligatoires pour les options de formes longues le sont aussi
pour les options de formes courtes.
  -a, --all                  ne pas cacher les entrées débutant par .
  -A, --almost-all           ne pas inclure dans la liste . et ..
      --author               afficher l'auteur de chaque fichier

as you see only the long help description are translated, not the options.

Me too ;-) but this is not much work..
