Obviously they should be translated, but the question is how to do it. 

One idea is to create an additional set of .ts files for plugins (to avoid a 
mess in the main files). Somebody (probably me... ;) ) would then 
systematically review all plugins and grab strings from translateable ones.
By 'translateable' plugins I especially mean those containing identifable 
class names (=translation contexts), so it's necessary to control them 
manually. Otherwise we would achieve a big bunch of strings mixed together in 
irrational contexts ;)

Other idea would be to keep all the translation stuff inside plugins and only 
provide a web utility to help authors to publish .ts files (one file for each 
plugin) and translators to update them.

I believe the former is far better.
