The current implementation of VDR - and the typical use of gettext - use the English translation as a key, with the option to pass through this text if no translation is found. (gettext: or no language file found) There may be a way to 'tag' in gettext, so that in case of pass-through at least the tag gets removed, don't know. VDR's i18n allows such tags in form "tag$english text", where everything up to $ will always be deleted on output. > Sharing strings even within a plugin is /a bad idea/ - you never know where > the string might be reused next time, and the translator may need to > inflect, conjugate or decline the term differently in each context. Plugins are usually maintained by one person, so this shouldn't be as problematic as with all plugins in one context. Cheers, Udo
