lib/plugin.php now has a parent onAutoload function that finds most common
files that are used in plugins (actions, dataobjects, forms, libs etc.) if
they are put in the standardised directories ('actions', 'classes', 'forms',
'lib' and perhaps some others in the future).
This will apply to *ALL* plugins in *ALL* languages, so should probably only be used when doing site customization...
You'd probably do:
$config['site']['locale_path'] = '/srv/awesome/data/locale';
$config['plugins']['locale_path'] = '/srv/awesome/data/locale';
with a structure like:
srv/
awesome/
data/
locale/
en/
LC_MESSAGES/
statusnet.po
OpenID.po
AnonymousFave.po
etc, all alongside each other. You could separate plugins from the core if you like.
Where locale files have not already been generated, you can build one for a plugin like so:
php scripts/update_po_templates.php --plugin=MyPlugin
and pull out the template file:
plugins/MyPlugin/locale/MyPlugin.pot
Edit that (make sure you at least set the CHARSET, probably to UTF-8) and save your customized .po
files into the structure as above, and use msgfmt to generate .mo files for final output.
