That's why I called it a drawback...

Does it? Then let's go to bed and sleep a while after that great news.
In fact it doesn't work as it should or how do you want to get your
catalog into the gimp source?
The plugins themselves were at no time a problem, the menus inside
GIMP are. With any solution you think about, the only thing you have
ask yourself is: Will GIMP be able to resolve the translated menu names
with this solution?

You are right here, however using symlinks could be useful for my
idea and your writing enlightened me... :))

If there is no problem, why don't we release GIMP then now?
My problem is that anything that is not distributed with GIMP
won't work in the users native language. And this in very
unpleasant and while I undestand that people using the English
version don't really care about this I do and also have to...
