OK then, how about:
* GMPI plugins must be localizeable. The host must expose the current
language settings to plugins.
* All user-visible plugin strings must be localizeable, with the
corollary that all identifiers that are used by the host must stay
consistent. For example, a parameter might have the name 'FOO' which is
constant, and a display name, "Foo Frequency" which is localizable.
* GMPI must provide a simple string encoding and translation interface,
similar to gettext(), which plugins can rely on to get automatic
translation of their strings.
We're almost fully through the doc, gang!!! Let's do it....
