[wp-hackers] Plugins using post types with localization

[José Fontainhas]

Not sure I get the question fully, or if it should be discussed on the
polyglot's blog[1], but the way bbPress (plugin) does it is the way
any well behaved plugin should, i.e. it loads a language file for its
own textdomain[2], uses internationalized strings with that
textdomain[3], which can be translated from a .pot file, specific to
that plugin.

If, on the other hand, those custom post types are being defined by a
theme's functions.php file, the process is only different in that the
file should load the textdomain for the *theme* [4], and said theme
should have its own .pot file.

In short, individual custom post types are not a part of core and
hence those strings do not exist on core's .pot files
