[QGIS-Developer] upload non-english plugin into official repository

[Borys Jurgiel]

Maybe it's time to reconsider a support for localized tags in the repository?

The plugin manager displays localized 'description' and 'about' tags from the 
metadata.txt: 

description=Hello world
description[it]=Ciao mondo

thus for already installed plugins only. It's easy to add a ?lang= parameter 
to the request, but I don't know how big deal would be to implement it in the 
repository (especially storing all those optional tag variants in the 
database). Unfortunately personally I never had time to dive into the 
repository stuff.

Regards,
Borys
