[wp-hackers] Internationalizing plugin meta-data...

[Jennifer Hodgdon]

Jacob: Agreed -- that method is definitely hackish -- almost as bad as 
editing the POT file by hand and adding the strings myself. The main 
problem is maintaining the text in two places at once.

The method on the Codex page is the Official Right Way to do it, 
except that it doesn't work.

Samuel: thanks for the pointer to wp-includes -- hadn't noticed those 
files being in the WP distro. I will check and see if that works, and 
post back, tomorrow morning.
