Clearly the old logic for localizing plug-ins was "core plug-ins first": * In particular, we were defaulting to the "gimp*-std-plugins" domain, asking plug-ins to override it with libgimp function gimp_plug_in_set_translation_domain(). Obviously any third-party plug-in would have to call this function since their strings are most likely not the same as GIMP core plug-ins. * Moreover this was only for the localization of menu items, which means we had to duplicate work anyway (simplified for core C plug-ins only with the INIT_I18N macro). * Also plug-ins had to manage the location of the Gettext catalogs, which is simpler for core plug-ins with gimp_locale_directory(), but more annoying for third-party plug-ins which can be installed basically anywhere (assuming their message catalogs are in their directory, not centrally installed on the system, especially for non-UNIX-like packages, with relocatable GIMP, no central package system and so on). * Finally in this logic of centrally installed catalogs, we were requesting that the domain name is unique, which makes sense in a Linux world with well maintained packages to avoid name clashes, not in a world with people making plug-ins without knowing too much what's done by their neighbour. So now the new logic is: - By default, GIMP will search for a folder called locale/ on the same level as the plug-in executable. The Gettext domain will be the name of the executable folder (and it doesn't matter too much if it's not unique in such configuration). - This can be disabled by overriding set_i18n() to NULL or reimplementing it. All our core plug-ins will do this since they will continue to use the centrally installed "gimp*-std-plugins" domain (or "gimp*-python" for Python plug-ins). - When not disabled while the folder is not available, warning messages will be outputted to stderr, so that plug-in developers can easily detect what is missing and how to handle it (and how to easily support internationalization of their plug-in). - gimp_plug_in_set_translation_domain() is removed and a future commit is going to get rid of _gimp_plug_in_domain_register() because we are going to get rid of the core-side localization of menu items (with logic explained in the upcoming commit).
