You are right. But I find that the problem is bit more complex than that. To wit, not only my translated files (.po & .mo) disappear on each auto-update, the strings that are input on the plugin's option/settings menu in my language are also getting overwritten. I have to rewrite them after each upgrade. But this doesn't happen with the Lesterchen plugins. It happened to me with ones like Contact Form 7. This will become a regular pain if you have many such installations in your language. I think the only solution left for people like me is not to use automatic upgrade of plugins until a workaround is made available. S.K -- Nothing in this world is a gift.
