Just to say, I discovered this issue when debugging modified addons plugin. I wondered why it disappeared from the list after I activated and deactivated it. After an hour of thinking and debugging I noticed that its name was localized and it moved to the end of plugin list :-)
Ok, in the case that the plugin name is that different in the translation, it might be weird. Not sure whether this should be considered a bug in the translation or in Geany (as we are talking about his). The easiest thing would be to argument that the plugin name shouldn't be translated as it is a name. On the hand, some plugin names are more like descriptions than real, plain names and so translating them makes sense. But this is just the easy was, not necessarily the correct one :).
Well, then the description also would not be translated. It would be best to translate name and description, but I'm not happy that just by showing the plugin manager every translated string then stays in memory until Geany is quit, for every single plugin on the system. Some plugins like geanylua have a lot of translated strings (probably too many).
Anyway, this may be the best overall solution. Perhaps I'm worrying about memory use too much, I don't have any figures on the actual number of KiB used.
