You don't have to hack anything if the plugin is correctly internationalized, the problem is to have developers doing this properly, tons of plugin still have gettext function and don't have the load_plugin_textdoamin function, the same for themes. If a plugin is distrbuted to be in a propertary subdir alla the files related to this plugin MUST be there. >As i18n of plugins and themes is becoming quite common, it would >probably be a good idea to have a /languages subfolder and make this >function point to that by default.

In other mailing list this it has been alredy discussed, having a centralized languages directory won't help, themes lolcales files actually doens't have a special name cause they have theyr own directory, plugins have it cause they can share the same dir. I repeta, the problem is to "force" theme and plugin developers to cre more about intenationalization, I'd proposed to have a "WP quality ribbon" for theme and plugins that comply to a series of quality check and one is correct internationalization, some people agree to this, actually the problem we are taliking on other ML is how to better manage plugin version and update, using a repository, etc etc but this is something we still have in the agenda. -- Stefano Aglietti - StallonIt on IRCnet - ICQ#: 2078431 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sites: http://www.40annibuttati.it (personal blog) http://www.wordpress-it.it (WordPress Italia) _______________________________________________ wp-polyglots mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-polyglots
