Hi, I don't know why we're using what we're using; maybe a design decision by Imi. Anyway whatever reasons were valid then must not necessarily be valid now.

I'm not into i18n that much but if the change you are proposing would mean that every single class that contains a "tr(...)" or "marktr(...)" will have to be changed, then I'd like to have a code example beforehand which also explains how language plugins will work under the new scheme, and how the work of translators will change. We have a working system which programmers, translators and users have grown used to. Replacing that with something else will almost certainly mean inconvenience for them; so that "something else" must bring solid benefits to be worth it.
