Jesper, I totally agree. I'd like to take it one step further. Hardcoded strings are a pain, even if you're *only* targeting english speaking people. It means you cannot change the defaults even if you want those to be English.
How hard would it be to create a patch where all the hardcoded strings have been replaced by vars (with the same content)? Is there no way to do that and still maintain BC with other i18n plugins?
