 I wrote a plugin for my sites. It adds a widget. The text strings in the
 form() and widget() member functions of my widget class (which inherits
 from WP_widget) show up translated (after calling
 load_plugin_textdomain(), of course), but the name and description of my
 widget, as show up in the widget selection pool, are not translated. I
 thought this might have to do with my widget constructor being called as
 soon as the PHP parser passes it (although I don't think this is true),
 and the translation not called until the 'init' hook, but I tried puting
 my class in a function called from 'widgets_init' and it still didn't
 work.
