I don't realy understand what you mean! I've looked deeper into some
plugins and some parts of wordpress. I found localized plugins which don't use
gettext. They have an own copy for each language what is not nice but a work 
around for the 'description' problem. 
When wordpress checks for description the plugin code gets loaded into a 
string and the a regular expression searchs for the description tag and the 
others. 
I've planned to write a minimal wordpress patch which greps, depending on the
actual local, Description_fr_FR  or Description_de_DE and so on...
If there are any news from Matt about this issue please drop a mail to the 
list.
