Right now plugins are own their own for localization because there is no really good way currently to integrate a plugin's strings into the AbiWord strings subsystem. This really isn't a huge problem *at the moment* because only the AikSaurus thesaurus plugin dialog has meaningful translatable strings. That's not too much of an issue now because the thesaurus only works with en-US (ok, you'll get reasonable results with en-*) This is, however, one of the many problems on the horizon for us and plugins (Tamlin also points out the problems with cross-boundary memory management). We'll need to think about how to properly handle this for more sophisticated (in every sense of the word) plugins. Dom
